One can never have too much Murakami ;) No, what I meant was that Murakami had too much control over the film and Tran Anh Hung doesn't manage to make itinto a Tran film. (except visually perhaps, although it's as much a Lee Ping Bing film in that sense) Murakami should have just shot it himself or just turn over the rights for the film and shut up and let Tran do it.
