Review of The Pillow Book (1995) by Corey N — 24 Feb 2010
This is a odd but interesting movie. Basically a love story and drama mixed all into one. The movie is about a women and man who find common ground and attraction when it comes to writing Japanese text that are poems on their body.
There is a little bit more to it than that but that is the basic plot. This film gets a NC-17 rating due to the nudity but it never plays like a B movie or porn. The film plays on many visual styles that makes it work.
Ewan McGregor and Vivian Wu are very good in their roles. The story is a bit odd so this may turn people away from the film. Worth a one time watch.
