"The story is set in Tokyo and focuses on Oscar, a young American drug dealer who gets shot by the police, but continues to watch over his sister Linda as a ghost. The camera follows Oscar from behind his head during scenes in which he is alive; after his death, the view hovers over Tokyo through walls and across buildings. The film makes heavy use of imagery inspired by experimental cinema and psychedelic drug experiences." unfortunately running only in 8 movie theathre in my country - waiting for dvd release! anyone watched this mindfuck? any impressions? discuss! |

Saw it a month ago on a movie festival. This is definitely not a mindfuck. The plot, to my great disappointment, was shallow and very predictable. Also, not that I'm prone to defend religion, but the Buddhist claims about the state of bardo were only used by Noe when they suited his sentimental story. The shocking scenes are shocking only to the precise extent that will allow this movie to be mentioned as a menace in the mainstream media, but can cause only an impatient sigh among the audiences. At least this is what happened during the screening i attended and, from what i was told, during on other one on the same festival. Anyway, the only people that left the audience were the ones who hadn't taken into account the length of the movie when planning their daily festival schedules. Compare that to at least 1/3 of the audience who left during "Trash Humpers". Other than that, the movie to me was simply beautiful. Enthralling atmosphere and great visual effects which were necessary for the visualization of this story. I was mesmerized for 2,5 hours and this made the moments when Noe's infantile modus operandi kicked me in the nuts so much more painful. Anyway, go see it if you're interested in it, I don't regret going even though the only lasting impression it left is a slight contempt for Gaspar Noe. |

Haven't seen this one, but Gaspar Noe is such a total blockhead, I think it's endearing. |
