if i may say so, the rape scene almost put me off the film. it seems more misogynist than anything in realm of the senses
Exactly what I needed. Ghostly. Beautifully composed. Sexually charged. It was as if a village elder sat me down at a campfire and told me this bizarre tale of guilt and obsession.
Extraordinario film de Nagisa Oshima. Clasico del cine japonès de los 70, este film fantasmal pleno de sutil erotismo y critica social trasciende las convenciones del cine de horror y resulta ser toda una experiencia audiovisual. La musica de Toru Takemitsu no tiene madre.
This is a beautifully shot film. The shots are set up very well( hiding much of the explicitness of the sex scenes mind you.). The film, at its most basic level is a ghost story but is not overtly frightening, but is strangely unsettling. The transfer is clean and crisp and only enhances the power of the film. I walked away from this film shaken but impressed. This is not a film to be overlooked.
