...Arakimentari (2004). It is a bio-doc that looks at the life of infamous Japanese photographer Araki Nobuyoshi (perhaps the most published photographer in the world), his art and his impact on Japanese culture I must make a disclaimer I enjoy Arakis photographs a lot. In fact once on a date I found an old Phaidon book of his work in a used...

...Araki's Smiley Face got to me. Sure, it was probably the worst follow-up Araki could have had after Mysterious Skin , and yeah, it sounds really awful (a pseudo-actress accidentally eats her roommate's pot brownies only to embark on an outrageous journey to pay off her dealer, make sure her electricity doesn't get turned off, go to an...

Cinematical's Friday Night Double Feature: '90s 3-Ways

2008-01-18 00:00:00 by Monika Bartyzel in Cinematical
...Araki's Splendor and Andrew Fleming's Threesome . What is so great about these films is that they are not stunning, pitch-perfect examples of cinema, but rather, awkward, flawed, and endearing glimpses into expanding sexuality. The characters fail to find one person who can fulfill all of their idiosyncratic desires, and come to realize that...

...Araki's previous movies, it shares with them a sincere empathy for its fucked-up heroine.

Already taking...

...Araki to direct a stoner comedy. But one does expect that if Gregg Araki does direct a stoner comedy, itll be sharper and funnier than any before. And this is. Ive said it before and Ill say it again: Anna Farris, as a fully-baked pothead whose wanderings through Los Angeles find her in possession of a Karl Marx manuscript, here give the most...
