Хидден гем, буквально. Медленно, неторопливо, меланхолично. Мне нравится.

j’allais dire que ce film n’était pas une ode à la vie, mais plutôt une ode à la mort. Mais finalement il y’a de l’espoir et une renaissance, c’est beau, c’est dur mais c’est doux.

Everything.
Nothing.
Life.
Death.
The human experience has never been more thoroughly captured in narrative form than SABU's Blessing Bell. A complete departure from his earlier yakuza films where everything that can go wrong will go wrong (and we all laugh and have a good time), Blessing Bell instead goes down the arthouse road. It's poetic, it's ambient, it's aimless, it's almost designed entirely for scholarly analysis. And it's also really good! Who knew SABU had this in him? Oh and we finally get Susumu Terajima in a leading role (EVEN THOUGH HE BARELY SPEAKS).
One of the most peaceful and meditative films I've ever seen.
Nothing.
Life.
Death.

Fast das komplette Gegenteil eines Films von Sabu, nur dass ihn Sabu gedreht hat. Statt Geschwindigkeit, die Zelebrierung der Langsamkeit. Statt einem Ziel entgegenzulaufen, wieder den Anfang entdecken.
