Viewing Notes
Shinya Tsukamoto’s Vital is stirring drama piece borderline on horror but not really horrific as it is disturbing. Not the most compelling viewing but interesting nonetheless if you enjoy the slow pacing as I do. I can watch Tadanobu Asano in anything he does. He probably has only a page of dialog during course of the entire film but his performance is moving.
