An incredibly unique and colorful movie that, like most other Suzuki movies from Branded to Kill onward, feels like it’s impossible to truly understand. The plot seems simple, but there’s so much strange imagery and different pieces of dialogue that feel like they mean something greater but it’s so hard to put it all together that you just have to stop trying and just enjoy the ride.

Luckily that ride is one of the most visually beautiful movies ever created, with a great soundtrack and strange and abstract dialogue. 

Seriously one of the most interesting movies ever made, the fact that Suzuki is mostly unappreciated by modern movie fans is seriously tragic. There’s so much here that could be understood and appreciated but it seems like it might not ever get the credit it deserves.

“Every object, every gesture and every image in a Suzuki film is there overtly to be watched and exists – gloriously and without apology – for the camera’s watchful eye. His is a cinema of the image, by the image, for the image… and every shot is equivalent to a gun in the face.”- David Melville, sensesofcinema.com

This movie is so incredibly unique that I had to approach it from a different level than I have approached anything else I’ve seen. Fights and conversations will happen and you’ll see an abstract version of what those things probably were, with strange dialogue and beautiful colors and sets. Every second of this feels like a genius made it yet it’s campy in a way, as every actor acts like no one you’ve ever seen before.

This is all to say that this is one of the strangest and most beautiful movies I’ve seen, with a plot that is confusing but kind of profound in a weird way even if I don’t understand it fully, and some of the most gorgeous visuals I’ve ever seen. The last 20 minutes of this movie are absolutely insane. Amazing movie.
