	Midnight Eye review: Rockers (2003, Takanori JINNAI) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Filmed documents of the Japanese punk scene of the late 70s and early 80s are rare items indeed.
		What exists is nearly all the product of the illustrious Sogo Ishii, who made several handfuls of short films, features and concert films during the period, many populated by the country's various punk rock exponents, with 1982's astonishing Burst City being arguably the definitive record of the spirit and energy of the movement.
		It may not offer any insights into the history of the Japanese punk music scene and even similarities with the band that inspired it are superficial at best, but Rockers transcends that admittedly narrow focus to become a film of much more universal appeal.

	Midnight Eye review: Shall We Dance? (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Put simply, Japanese culture is far too alien and too damn odd to resonate much with Western mainstream audiences, which is what makes the universal appeal of Shall We Dance?
		The full-length Japanese version obviously doesn't have to bother explaining Japanese culture to its native audience, instead giving a historical background to the evolution of ballroom dancing in Europe.
		It is colourful and buoyant, moving and inspiring, and still, a few years after the initial critical clamouring has subsided, just as strong as ever.
