From a cinematic view, it's got a David Lynch/Wim Wenders feel all over it (although, Wenders endorses the
Leica brand). The voiceover could have been -- contextually -- completed unrelated, in translation, for all you know. As for the seductive schoolgirl [and tatooed Yakuza] imagery, I took it for an art director's preference -- as accepted by the Japanese. Historical Japanese erotic art depicts just this kind of scenery. But, this particular clip holds lots of loaded imagery, especially in contemporary culture. As with Don, the message I understood, was that it's a camera with which to photograph life as it goes from moment to moment -- at a blink, before you miss it -- every emotion frozen for all eternity (how sappy can I be?). Were it to be broadcast here (the almighty censors behind the curtains wouldn't allow for it), I'd call it ballsy, with dark elegance. I liked it. The evangelicals would have a field day, however.
