Like Lost in Translation, the story in Stratosphere Girl is spun around a Westerner woman that goes to Tokyo. In the latter case, the story circulates around fifteen year old Angela's life.Angela is passionately obsessed with Japanese culture, drawing comics and creating Manga stories. At the night of her graduation party she meets with a Japanese DJ that invites her to Japan. What follows after she decides to go is a mix of her reality and her comics, reality becoming comics and vice versa.
Even if the the story is thin (there's more to it than what I have revealed but I don't want to spoil it), it doesn't matter. Not to me. Why?! Because the visual photography is stunning. It's a beautifully photographed creation painted with the finest brush by Matthias X. Oberg.
It's innocent and pure art in its finest form.
