Is this Shinya Tsukamoto's best film?
It certainly was an experience and the most memorable compared to the other stuff he's done.
I watched a snake of june, Kotoko, Tokyo Fist and Bullet Ballet (didn't finish it, couldn't stand the shaky cam in this one) and only Tokyo Fist comes close.

>Bullet Ballet (didn't finish it, couldn't stand the shaky cam in this one)
literally the best film he has made, arguably one of the greatest films ever
What did you like about it exactly? I don't remember much about it.
I sadly hafta agree with ya on this. I only hafta emphasize on this there are only handful of film makers left in the Japanese industry who can get away with experimental input. Tukamoto is one of them, user.
the whole experience, i can't really point out anything specific. IT JUST WORKS. The ending is amazing and almost brought me to tears (i have never cried watching a film and i don't often react emotionally at all)
I watched it at like 3 am. watching kino late at night puts you in a different mood
What japanese director is there that's worth checking out? Only noticeable ones I know of are Tsukamoto, Takeshi and obviously Kurosawa.
Teshigara
Shindo
Oshima
Suzuki
Kobayashi
Ozu
Kiyoshi Kurosawa (another Kurosawa)
Mizoguchi
fuck, why did i forget to list kuro2awa. Cure is top tier
haven't watched anything by Mizoguchi yet but i have like 4 of his films downloaded
Thanks. Oshima looks interesting, what's a good place to start with him?
Tokyo Fist is weird?
it's a boxing movie with the style of the first two Tetsuo movies.
Third Window Films it's going to release his last movie. Can't wait to see it.
mizoguchi is the best of them all
I've been waiting to see this sine 2014. A gonzo-grindhouse body horror movie set in WWII? sign me up.
It's been out on blu in Japan since 2015 but it's hard to get.
Yeah, me too. Recently they released in japan a lot of his firsts movies I'm interesting on get Haze and Vital on blu ray.
...
I have heard that. It is the reason i haven't watched them yet. I feel like i have to be in the perfect mood for true kino experience
It's good for 2-3 minutes. Then the style gets tiring and repetitive.
>Versus 2 might actually happen
goddammit I want to kill myself, but this faggot won't let me
Takashi Miike
so handsome
I want to kiss Tak Sakaguchi on the mouth
nigga broke his molar trying to cock a prop gun with his teeth.
...
Bullet Ballet would be goat if they redid the sound effects
he and sono are probably the biggest hacks in japanese cinema
nah
I can see how an absolute pleb might think that.
the adventures of electric rod boy
The DVD for that movie in the UK at least was entirely red. Blew my mind.
>spend countless hours constructing neat practical body horror effects
>hide them behind spastic shaky cam
