SO how were they able to get away with the title of this film?


Look at the title, and they thought that leaving out the 'c' would make any difference. How low will people go in naming movies these days

Having just watched this beautiful film, I was completely astonished that someone could be so ignorant of Japanese culture (or non-western culture in general) that they assumed the title was a) aimed at a western audience and b) was an oblique reference to western profanities.

Anyway, I am really glad to see someone took the trouble to put the record straight and thank you for your knowledgeable reply - I am from England and only speak my native tongue, so it was fascinating to read about the term 'jigswa'.

A wonderful film by an incredible director, I have watched three of his films and all of them have been so delicately constructed and a pleasure to watch on so many levels.
