Viewing Notes
This screening was part of Kinetic Visions: The Students of Hasumi Shigehiko series by Doc Films at UChicago in Max Palevsky Cinema (Ida Noyes Hall). This was my second visit to Doc Films (my first visit was for Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s PULSE). So it was pretty neat to see the second of Kurosawa’s more famous J-Horror flicks on the big screen in 35mm.
It had been so long since I’ve seen this that I forgot a lot of it. There are some scenes / moments that recalled but overall it was almost like watching this for the first time, which made for a very nice viewing in theater. There’s plenty of interesting things going on here. It’s so subtle and yet so clever with the story. I’d be down for getting the Eureka! blu-ray of this.

Jealous! I’ve been thinking of revisiting this one. I think I have it on DVD.

When they announced the series, this was one I definitely circled. It’s not an easy trip to Doc Films (this being only my second visit) but I’m very happy to see two of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s best films on 35mm, something I never would have imagined happening.
Hopefully I can make it down there for a couple more screenings.
