WHAT'S IT ABOUT? A little Japanese girl gets sold to cruel owners, and is then raised as a performance artist. Pepper up plotline with love, betrayal, jealousy etc for dramatic bits.

ANY GOOD? Pleasantly shot and quite moving. Go on, indulge your soft side - the girls will love you for it. Honest!

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'What, no ghosts crawling out of TV sets? Call this a horror film? Oh, you don't...'

REASON TO WATCH: To prove you're a culture-embracing, philosophical, sensitive soul with a feminine side. (Ie. you're trying to pull that intellectual hottie from the local uni).
