Perfect marriage of convenience between new wave - male gaze - artsy films and ridiculous commercial genre cinema.
Unfortunately, when buying tickets, I had not realised that the pleasure of seeing young, slim and shining Leslie in the darkness of a cinema theatre goes hand in hand with necessity to withstand the ostentatious Japanese red army part.
(It was interesting to observe the audience which was watching it for the first time, though. The lecturer before the screening didn't give much explanation why the movie was filmed this way, so no wonder the perception was quite fun.)
