 Dark Water / Honogurai mizu no soko kara
Once again, this remarkable director proves to us all why he is the (pretty much) undisputed champion of the New Wave of Japanese horror; along with others such as Takashi Miike and Kurosawa Kiyoshi, two more kings of the genre, these incredible filmmakers are totally reshaping the face of contemporary Asian film.
Dark Water is, partly due to this, a rather non-visual film: the threatening meaning of a child’s little red bag, out of context, doesn’t carry across to screenshots.
Dark Water is an indispensable work of art for anyone who loves beautiful, intelligent, classy filmmaking in general, and not just for horror fans.

She went on to appear in smaller roles in two family films; in 2002's Grand Champion as the sister of the main character Buddy (Jacob Fisher), and in 2003's Spymate as the kidnapped daughter of former secret agent Mike Muggins (Chris Potter), who tries to rescue her with the help of a spy monkey.
As the film is rated R, her mother reportedly will not allow Roberts to see it before she turns eighteen, but director Ted Demme made her a tape with her scenes.
In the film, she portrayed Kristina Jung, the daughter of Johnny Depp's character, cocaine smuggler George Jung.

My recognition of Take Care of My Cat being “refreshing” in its resistance against showing sexual activity is primarily in relation to Hollywood where films focusing on the lives of young people, these days, seem to be only about “sex,” whether they are comedies, romances, or, even horror films.
