Plot: Japanese cinematography is very cool and Chicken Heart is an example of it. The camera seems to be pulled back in most scenes giving the viewer a wide shot of the setting. in many scenes there is minimal camera movement which is great for this type of movie cuz it makes it seems very dull and adds to the element of boredom and loneliness in these guys lives. The use of repetition such as the noodle stand that they met at every night added to the humor and theme of monotony. I don't speak Japanese perfectly, but i speak it well and from what i do know it was a very funny movie. The subtitles were good but the original language is always better. I recommend this and I have seen it aired of TV (AZN network).
