Swallowtail Butterfly
Once upon a time, when the Yen was the most powerful force in the world, the city overflowed with immigrants, like a gold rush boom town. They came in search of Yen, snatching up Yen, and the immigrants called the city - Yentown. But the japanese hated that name, so they referred to those Yen thieves as yentowns. It's a bit puzzling but yentown mean both the city and the outcast. If they worked hard, earned a pocket full of Yen, and they returned home, they will be rich man. It sounds like a fairytale, but it was a paradise of Yen - Yentown. And this is a story of yentowns in Yentown.
This is the second time i watch this movie, its just damn good...the ending is unacceptable for me yet the storyline is so unpredictable...something fresh, i mean the story, even the movie was made on 1996...i cant help myself but to recommend this movie...it reflects the reality that we might not have the opportunity to experience...but of course better not...everything was so fine under the direction of Shunji Iwai, what a talented guy...it might be hard to get this dvd in market, but trust me, its worth to watch...enjoy~~
