This sounds interesting. Any more news on what 'A Man of No Significance' consists of? Sounds like David following some random guy around with a video camera... :shock:

Well, since the line 'it's such a melancholy blue or a grey of no significance' appears in "The Greatest Living Englishman", and the lyrics of that song seem to contain quite a bit of sardonic self-parody on his part, then we could possibly assume that a title such as A Man Of No Significance might just be another fine example of Sylvian knocking himself down a few pegs yet once again.
I surely doubt that Sylvian would have any such feeling of superiority in order to dismiss - as you put it - "some random guy" as being insignificant.

The Japanese website just mentions the introduction film is with narration by David. So not sure if he will be in the film.

I've got my fingers crossed that they throw in a Nagoya showing (my neck of the woods). If it can show up in Sapporo, it can certainly show in Nagoya.
