Mweh.. this is typically a movie written and directed by a man (don't worry, I'm not a raging feminist), so annoying. It totally missed it's goal. It's about the woman, taking control of her sexuality, or that's the intention I think, but how she's coaxed into doing this is utter...( read more)
Shot through a tinted lens, this is a beautiful film visually but unfortunately its let down by a fairly creepy and non-sexy story line. Style over content but still worth watching, it just could have been a lot better considering Tsukamoto is one of the most exciting directors a...( read more)

Everything that I have seen by Tsukamoto so far has been gold. A Snake of June was so refreshing to watch, I really enjoyed it. I loved the blue tint the film had. I loved the voyeuristic scene with all the business men sitting on the floor with the funnels over their faces, whic...( read more)
EVEN IF the film exploits a lot sex and thriller, it is very poetic in many parts. When I saw it, it was the first time I've ever heard about. At the beggining I thought it was one of those horror films that lately are remade by Hollywood but at the end I saw perfectly how hard i...( read more)
