Kamikaze Girls — Titches

Kamikaze Girls is an eccentric comedy made by director Tetsui Nakasima. A film about the friendship of two seemingly opposite girls.

The visual solution is a collage diary. There’s only the main hero, Momoko, in the titres, and the rebel friend shows up in music, effects, and extra layers that tear the picture apart.

The layers, the bursts of paper, the swelling of paint, the tearing pieces and the track, also represent the inner world of the main hero, full of rebellion, despite appearances.

The original credits are linked to the beginning of the film and are an important part of it, and we get to know the heroine. So it was decided to keep the leitmotive on the bike.

The film is full of funny contradictions, and Momoko dreams of France and fineness, but lives in a small Japanese province.

In the course of the film, we realize that in Momoko there is more passion and willingness to speak out than in an armed group of rebel bikes.

The end of the titling comes up and the end of the film — we’ve learned more about heroin and it’s transformed into our eyes.
