| This movie is refreshing. Camera angles distort space, audio overlaps, and it is full of unexpected transitions and hallucinogenic events. Although a parody, the film is still pretty eery. It feels a bit messy at times but eventually comes together nicely with a concise and meaningful resolution. |
Movie of the Week Humanity and Paper Balloons ( Sadao Yamanaka, 1937 ) If you are a fan of (or simply interested in) Japanese films then please join the Cinema of Japan club! Thank you (: |
| Oh man, yes. This movie was such a slap in the face when I finally watched it after hearing about it here and there for a while. I really wasn't expecting something so great and hilarious at the same time. The art direction of this is actually very interesting even though it's extremely cheesy. It's the type of Serie B film you don't want to miss, if you appreciate this genre of movie. Or even if you don't, I think you ought to enjoy it. Definitely worth watching. |
