Title - Tokyo Trash Baby (Tokyo Gomi Onna) Director - Ryuichi Hiroki Year of Release - 2000 Duration - 88 minutes Genre - Psychological, Romance IMDb - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0269969/ Synopsis Miyuki, a waitress in a cafe in Tokyo, develops an obsessive crush on grimy young rock musician Yoshinori who lives in the apartment upstairs. She takes to bringing in his garbage bags and rifling through his refuse - empty water bottles, styrofoam cups, leftover takeaways etc. Collecting his empty cigarette packets and hoarding the smoked cigarette ends in a jar, cutting out pictures from discarded magazines, and wearing his shredded denim jacket - the ultimate trophy - in the privacy of her own room, she begins to identify with him through the by-products of his day to day existence.

I really enjoy Ryuichi Hiroki's work including this one, but liked Vibrator a little more. I'd put this one on par with I Am an S&M Writer which is also a great movie. I haven't seen 'M' yet and notice it's on Netflix instant watch right now. Looks like I know what I'm watching tonight now. :)      |
