Tokyo Cowboy1994
Can a wanna be cowboy from Japan come between two girls in love? No Ogawa has big dreams of living life as a cowboy. To fulfill his fantasy, No sets off for the rolling prairies of the Canadian West, in search of the perfect cowgirl: childhood pen pal, Kate. Trouble is, Kate prefers cowgirls to cowboys. Now a sophisticated artist, Kate lives with her lover Shelly and wants to leave small town life and her match-making mother behind. Punctuated by hilarious "Wild West" dream sequences and filled with endearing characters, TOKYO COWBOY is a fantastic comedy of cross cultural misunderstandings and sexual confusion.

Beautiful story about dreams and self-invention. Loved the Japanese tie in with respect of culture. About relationships and how individuals think the "outside" world perceives oneself based on relationships. Good comedic moments.
