Red Lipstick (2000)
Truly bad
This film was such a mess. Unprofessional, poorly acted and shot, and lacking in anything close to a cohesive script. Obviously the makers had an idea to make a low-budget drag queen flick that had a John Waters feel or something - but they've totally missed the target with this effort. A lack of budget is never an excuse these days to produce such poor cinema. I've rarely been so bored.
Yurîka (2000)
Beautifully shot, but overlong
This film looked amazing, but at over 3.5 hours it's a long haul. There are some amusing moments, and it was nice to see Mikuyi from Audition playing a well adjusted 'normal' character.
To be fair, I was not at all prepared for the length of this film, and while the brown and white images and sound were impressive, a film cannot succeed on looks alone. There is very little development for such a long flick...
