The Inugami Family (犬神家の一族 “Inugami-ke no ichizoku“) is a 1976 film directed by Kon Ichikawa and based on the novel of the same name by Seishi Yokomizo. This film is a whodunnit style murder mystery that follows private detective Kosuke Kindaichi, as he is sent to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding the massive inheritance of the Inugami family, and the series of murders that are connected. It is one of the shining examples of Japanese detective fiction, and in this review I will hopefully give you a good idea of what makes this movie so special.

Kamikaze Girls, or Shimotsuma Monogatari (meaning “Shimotsuma Story”) is a 2004 film directed by Tetsuya Nakashima based on a light novel by author Novala Takemoto. It focuses on the friendship between two very different teenage girls. Momoko, a girl obsessed with lolita fashion, and Ichigo, a girl in a delinquent biker gang. The two come from two very different subcultures, but they soon develop an unlikely friendship. In this review I will be discussing why I love this movie and the aspects of Japanese culture that can be learned from this film.
