1) Le(a) C�t�~~Tetsu  The film begins with Tetsu driving, with a playful, carnival-like music.
As Tetsu was driving, he was stopped by a little (cucasian) girl shooting at his wind-shield with a water-gun. The girl got on his car, she wrote in Japanese on a piece of paper that said "Please let me know
your name today." Later, they arrived at a beach, the girl dancing near the sea and Tetsu put some sand in his suit case. The background music now changed to a sad and mysterious song with a female vocal. At night, they returned to the city. Tetsu went to make a phone call. The girl
used an eyeliner to draw a tear drop on her face, then she opened Tetsu's suit case and found out his name. At the end, she went to the phone booth where Tetsu was calling, she wrote Tetsu's name with her finger. The film ends and credits appear, again with that playful carnival music. The whole atmosphere of the film is moody and romantic through the blue-tint. The costumes and props (car, record-player) give an 30s' feelings. Overall it's a very beautiful, moody film with really nice music. It fits very well with Tetsu's calm and big-brother image. However, I don't quite get real meaning of the story.
