Smiley Face 2007
This is the stoner bimbo girl's Run Lola Run, lucky us! The way Araki incorporates Ladytron's "Destroy Everything You Touch" as further ignition to Farris' brilliant turn to the spectacle of feminine failure is, as always, a dystopian-tinged triumph. In a recent interview reassessing the film 15 years on, Araki notes his continued fondness for Faris' asexual tone throughout, a notable inverse of her previous filmography. Gross out girls as abject cupcake monsters representation, this film deserves more recognition in the current climate of 2000's nostalgia craze!
