I have been advocating Korean actresses here playing macho-roles, while still being 100% feminine.
Could any actress, West ot Asian , do the Job ?

James Bond should be a man, says Dame Helen Mirren

The Oscar-winning actor says that the famous 007 character can't be a woman as it "just doesn't work".

Une femme dont le mari a soudainement disparu cherche de l'aide pour s'occuper de son sento (bain public) à l'eau chauffée au feu de bois. Pendant qu'un étranger taciturne l'épaule, elle engage un détective pour retrouver le disparu...
Tiré d'un superbe manga, ce film tout en silences et en sous-entendus est lent, intrigant mais dose parfois bizarrement sa sobriété. L'ensemble est bizarrement calmant et reposant.

Un jeune homme sort de prison et retrouve dehors celui qui a été son mentor et amant mais lui qui espérait continuer leur relation se retrouve face à de l'indifférence. Pour attirer l'attention de l'autre, il replonge dans les magouilles... Il aurait fallu dix minutes de tension en plus entre ces deux hommes pour rendre l'ensemble mémorable mais ce film est déjà superbe visuellement parlant, prenant et court, ce qui est devenu une rareté appréciabke dernièrement.
