House

Definitely the most art house film I’ve ever watched. I feel that this was really fun to shoot but a pain to edit. Speaking of the editing, and the visuals in general… I love them. I really like how this film is all over the place (visually), and not only are the visuals overstimulating at times (in a good way), there’s also some genuine beautiful shots. However, I’m giving this film a 3 instead of a 3.5 because I won’t lie… it did get me bored. I watched it between two nights, and despite a lot going on visually, the lack of plot made it unfortunately a bit boring to me. The acting was mostly awful, which I’ve come to expect from Japanese films. It could be because I’m not really into Japanese humor, but I’m not sure. That being said, I realize that the acting is meaning to be “amateur” and purposefully bad in this film (I guess for comedic effect). Despite the vast majority of the film being unserious, there were certain parts, especially in the beginning, that felt genuine and invoked emotion. I emphasize, I loved this film visually.
