The movie is brilliant. It occurs to me that you don't know who James Ivory (the director) is. Perhaps your experiences with cinema is limited to american film?
I wonder if you failed to hone in on the thematic point of the book and of who (in the tens of millions) the narrator actually represents...
Of course, this is a very PURPOSEFULLY british novel making strong commentary on british culture and class conditioning at all levels. And ishiguro is a brilliant literary writer, which means you need a little education to understand him if you don't have the lived experience to make sense of it.
Added: Convenience Store Woman was sooooo satisfyingly good in such a wacky-perfect way.
