Live 1.6
Risa, a tall Japanese girl, gets rejected by a boy because she is taller than him. Otani, a short Japanese guy, gets rejected by a girl because he is shorter than her. Obviously these two would never be able to make it as a couple right? Well love doesn’t always follow such logic as Lovely Complex will show.
nergy-packed, pants-pissing funny, live-action manga adaptation that leaves no special effect unexploited to push the filmmakers’ artistic freedom to its limits. Amidst a curiously Dutch scenery, three prim girls at St. Michael’s Academy discover their magic powers while waging an insane battle between good and evil. The result is shamelessly hilarious and billed as the Japanese answer to Charlie’s Angels.

Love, sex, and the confusing gray area in between marks the playing field for this low-key comedy-drama.. Chinatsu (Okuno Mika) is a twenty-something lesbian who shares an apartment with Kyoko (Chika Fujimura). Chinatsu is attracted in passing to Kyoko, who occasionally returns her affections, but Kyoko is primarily interested in men -- though she has trouble getting one to stay interested in her.

Raunchy comedy/drama starring pop idol Lim Chang-jung (see JAKARTA) as a hapless college schlub who falls for Miss Popularity, who conveniently happens to be dating the biggest prick on campus and is therefore blind to Lim's hopeless overtures until she gets knocked up and beaten silly by her embarrassed mother. Often feels like an idealized male-centric filmization of the director's unrequited college romance, except that here the dream girl is made to suffer unspeakable anguish before she wises up to the man who really cares about her.
