HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND is another movie from the guy who brought us HAUSU, and so if you're looking for quirkiness then you've come to the right place. It's not quite up there with his best work, sadly, feeling both pedestrian and disjointed at times; the story is indeed very slight and seems to jump about all over the place. There's a rebel-without-a-cause backdrop and then a highly melodramatic romance, complete with lots of little offbeat moments that the director is well known for. The actors do their best with the little material they're given but their scenes do feel a bit stilted, and it's the directorial touches that make this interesting.
