Sakiko's single-minded obsession with money, her outlandish and relentless efforts in search of a lost suitcase full of bills, leaving flabbergasted observers in her wake--all are straight out of manga, and retain the light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek humor of that medium (the better manga, anyways). And there is a kind of gradual maturation process thrown in as well, as Sakiko comes to realize that she's not drawn to money itself, so much as to the hunt for it. (imdb)

It would have been good if the director would have actually tried to appeal to the viewers. The use of rag dolls in the movie were wayyyyy too obvious, and acting was bad at times. The plot was good, but other than that: MEH

Quite possibly my favorite modern Japanese movie...mainly because the director makes a real attempt to stray from the tired cliches that plague most films that come out of Japan.

The first five minutes gives you an idea of what to expect from the film. Naomi Nishida is hilarious as the quirky Sakiko, and the story being as absurb and over-the-top is what makes this film work.
