A refreshing medley
From the perspective of a foreign viewer, these Japanese short films are quite refreshing in the topic and also in the presentation.
I like "Justice" the most. I really re-entered the classroom, and put myself into the exciting game of violating our scholarly duties in classes yet trying not to be caught. There is an awesome sense of humor and a feeling of playfulness that's authentic and unfabricated. For those unfamiliar with the buruma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulma) -- the habit delineated is very real. This is where 9 out of 10 can be given.
Arita and Pandora come next. The former is concerned with the feeling of lost and confusion in growing up, and the latter is depicting a strangely erotic yearning. These are familiar topics, but the presentations are simple and affecting.
The others four are more "commonplace" but still quite nice to see. An average of 7 out of 10 can be given.
