Movie: 少女

I went to see Two Towers today, in English... yeah, but the French Subtitles -did- help my French out a bit! Really!

Anyway... The theatre also had a poster for this film. It is called Syojyo, the French title seems to be Adolescent, and in Japanese Shojyo means 'young girl'.

I have no idea what the movie is about... but look, she's getting a back tattoo. It must involve Yakuza... Gotta be cool. On another note, a movie called "Stupeur et tremblements" about a French lady who goes to Japan was also popular here a while ago. I wanna see it.

Dang.

Hopefully no one else will notice that mistake. That's embarrassing.

処女と少女か。 Whoops.

Well... the poster says "une adolescente" ...

So technically it's still saying it's about a girl.

Maybe the french release made her 'an adolescent' because some of is perceived to be too risque for just a 'shoujo'?

Oh well.
