CGiii Comment

What have we just watched?!?

Araki has officially lost the plot - where has the hard-edged, independent filmmaker gone?

Mr Araki, you have, successfully, alienated all those who respected your previous work - with the obvious exception...yourself.

If - Mr Araki - you think that this pigswill is going to propel you into the commercial mainstream - then, you are going to drown...quite deservedly so - this is infertile mulch.

Pretty boys do not make a film - petty dialogue does not make a comedy.

Banal.
