One of the best films I saw this year was Babel. One of the storylines takes place in Japan. A deaf-mute girl is struggling with her place in modern Japanese society. The girl, Chieko, is played by Rinko Kikuchi. A little research led me to a bunch of photos of this young Japanese actress, and I was surprised to see how different she looked on all of them. More info and some clips in

Ohw, and for those who are wondering, yes, she does appear completely naked in the movie. But since it’s a very dramatic movie, I don’t think it is a real turn on…

I guess her beauty is in her smile and she is very serious up there.
