Paul Thomas Anderson makes first foray into docu with 'Junun'

The reviews of Paul Thomas Anderson's Junun have been respectful but not enthusiastic. This did not stop me from watching it. Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood stars in it, so I know that even if it turns out to be terrible, I still have Greenwood to listen to. But the film is not about him, and he barely says a word.

Junun, an alternate spelling of "junoon," which means "mania," or "the madness of love" is a decent, stylishly packaged music-themed doc, but it's not that great. It had its worldwide debut at the New York Film Festival, last week, and is currently streaming on MUBI, which charges $4.99 a month (or $39.99 a year) for access to a library of hand-selected flicks. Check out the trailer below.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Gilbert Legrand turns mundane stuff into delightful characters

Gilbert Legrand doesn't see the world like the rest of us. You see a scrubbing brush, he sees an Apache chief. You see a a pair of scissors, he sees smooching lovers. The French artist's imagination is so wild and unrestricted that he can turn the most ordinary objects into unexpected sources of delight. I just spent half an hour lurking on his website, and you should, too.

This cafe in Tokyo looks like it's from a cartoon

The interior of this newly-opened tea house in Tokyo's Shin Okubo district is designed to look like a two-dimensional cartoon. From doors and walls, to tables and chairs, each item inside the 2D Cafe is painted in plain white with soft, black edges. The restaurant offers milk tea, tapioca, coffee, fruit juices, and shaved ice desserts. The only thing that I don't like about the cafe is the space. The tables are so close together that you can hear the most private details of strangers' lives whether you care to or not.
