Viewing Notes
Appreciate taking a different approach to the zombie… ahem, “madman virus” genre but ultimately the chapters don’t always come together. More wheel-spinning and backtracking before getting to the meat of the story. And that’s some fresh meat. Literally. All the day-in-a-life and travelogue footage is nice bc I prefer seeing everyday Japan (over glossy urban Japan). How the story is framed knocks it down a peg but packs a wallop in the final sequence.
