this movie is complex, intricate, artsy, and requires you to pay attention to it. for those of you with low attention spans, this movie isnt for you unless you like seeing countless numpbers of japanese guys walk around naked. i think it did a rather good job of deroticizing the nudity in it, it was more into presenting the human flesh as paper. a few stars off because it was disjointed at times and confusing, though largely entertaining and pleasing to watch (minus all of those penises). Rated 5 out of 5!
Stick to Schwarzenegger trash, Shane
The Pillow Book is easily one of the most beautiful, moving and thought-provoking films EVER made. I’’ve watched it at least a dozen times - not for the male nudity as I’’m a heterosexual male - but for Peter Greenaway’’s stunning vision of the human condition...in fact he paints a portrait of the likes of the Shanes of this world, the clueless people who wander through this world being duped by the guileless publishers of this world - it’’s no wonder the poor man who drinks from a colostomy bag (no wonder he obviously prefers today’’s Hollywood crap) doesn’’t know it.
