きままちゃんはあんたたちじゃないからのぼるのぼる

About This Movie

This 1994 film, with its rather whimsical title, introduces us to Kimama-chan, a character who's hard to pin down—she's a liar, selfish, and incredibly pushy. The narrative takes a unique approach, presenting itself as what it claims to be the world's only 'vertical road movie.' It plays with the idea of relationships and personal desires through the lens of Kimama's antics, creating a strangely contemplative tone amidst the chaos. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to its charm, making it an intriguing watch. It's not just about the journey upwards but about the characters' complex interactions and motivations that really stand out.

Finding a copy of 'きままちゃんはあんたたちじゃないからのぼるのぼる' can be quite a challenge; its obscure release and limited prints make it a rare gem among collectors. The film hasn't seen much in the way of re-releases, which adds to its allure for those interested in lesser-known works. In terms of formats, it seems to have mostly circulated on VHS, further complicating accessibility. Still, there’s a niche group of collectors who are drawn to its distinctive storytelling and offbeat charm.
