The weirder side of Tokyo...

"Lalapipo" (a lot of people) was a rather interesting and unique movie, which is a trademark of the Third Window Films company.

The movie is driven by a good story that have many aspects and subplots. We follow the fate of six very different people, but whose destiny is all somehow intertwined in one way or another. And there is a very good red line throughout the movie and all plots come together nicely. "Lalapipo" is a movie full of love, romance, comedy, drama and action. And you'd think all this would make for a weird mix, but no, it actually works out quite well. We see a lot of different sides to humanity and that of being human. These stories are introduced to us one at a time, but the observant viewer will catch on to the connection between the various segments.

If you enjoy Asian cinema, then you should really give "Lalapipo" a go, because it is well worth watching, and the story told in the movie is captivating and will stay with you for awhile. I found "Lalapipo" to be a rather refreshing breath of air in Asian cinema, and I enjoyed the movie quite a lot.
