Who
said being an artist is glamourous? Japanese Ushio Shinohara lives a life that
is part homeless man and part genius and it’s his younger wife Noriko that
keeps everything together. I don’t really know if these two love each other but
I suspect their marriage is based on a form of love and admiration. Noriko is
the hero of this story for you really get a sense of her personality and the
joy and terror it is to live with a maniac sweetheart like Ushio. It’s also a
testament to the life of an artist and let’s be clear these two are artists,
but no matter how creative you are or how many pieces of art you have created
it’s not easy making money. My opinion on Ushio’s work is that it’s at times
brilliant but also messy junk. How is it I can call it art and not garbarge?
Because it so purely captures this man’s zany soul. Grade: A
