"Bang Bang" in "Bloom"; Rinko Kukuchi


So last night we watched "The Brothers Bloom" from Netflix. A twisted story that had just my sense of humor (until the ending which left me slightly unfufilled). Anyway - although she is a nearly mute sidekick - my favorite character was "Bang Bang", Rinko Kukucki.


In looking Kukuchi-san up, I see she is Japanese and this was her only English picture. I do not have any idea why she was chosen for this role. But she was fantastic.



Obviously, Bang Bang blows things up.
