Viewing Notes

My 4th film on Day 4 at FF2014. Also the loudest movie at the festival. Probably intentionally so since everything in the movie is over the top. If I didn’t already know I would still say this plays like live action manga but with the added musical performances. Electric and pure joy. Won’t work for everyone yet then again you could say that about most of Sono’s catalog. Really enjoy how he incorporates varying concepts of familia into his films. Riki Takeuchi’s exaggerated yakuza family won’t be forgotten.
