2006-Drama
Japan-Takashi Miike
I love Miike's work. He is amazing when it comes to camera work, and is great at placing the viewers in odd places. Add this and Miike's insane style of images that no matter how much you try to wash it out with bleach it will haunt you. He is one director that loves controversy and doesn't care about anything but his vision.
Synopsis:
An unknown future. A boy confesses to the murder of another in an all-boy juvenile detention facility. More an exercise in style than storytelling, the story follows two detectives trying to uncover the case. Homosexual tension and explosive violence drives the story which delivers some weird and fascinating visuals.
This film is more of an exercise of Directing, testing visual effects and style, but simply no focus on storytelling. This film was a headache to view, with its no nonsense plots of Homosexuality, maturity, heaven, space, and inner torment, o yea, place a murder mystery in there somewhere also and there you have it. This was a visual treat but i tended to fight off sleep and picking my nose just to stay focus on this film that 'Pretends' to be deeper that what it truly is, all show and silence but not depth, keeping things vague and open to viewers interpretation so that the writers didn't have to.
Riko's Rating: D
