Kokuho

You're not a real one if you won't perform Love Suicide with me. An absolute breathtaking film about Kabuki, a form of Japanese theater I knew nothing about. Even if the movie is filled with tons of melodrama cliches, it hits them so right and with such style that I was locked in for the multi decade long story of these two men. A real roller-coaster of emotions with amazing performances and a sweepingly beautiful score. What more can you ask for? This needs to be distributed everywhere in the West and seen by everybody ASAP.
