So, 小池栄子 : G-taste is an interesting piece from 2001, kind of in that niche where it's not just about the performance but also the atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven, which some may find off-putting, but it gives this raw, almost experimental edge to it. The themes touch on desire and identity, wrapped in a playful yet provocative tone. The visuals might not be big-budget flashy, but there's something charming about the practical effects they used, and Koike's performance definitely stands out in a captivating way that pulls you in, even if the narrative feels sparse at times.
This film seems to have a bit of a cult following among collectors, especially those who appreciate the more avant-garde aspects of cinema. Availability is a bit scattered, and it hasn't had many re-releases, which adds to its allure among enthusiasts. If you're into early 2000s Japanese cinema, this one definitely fits into those peculiar gaps that make collecting interesting.
