Definitely wasn’t expecting an “orgasmic gore opera” to have so little action. Half of this is people on wild goose chases looking for each other, a quarter of it is characters torturing each other and the rest of it is violence against women.

Also Hidetoshi Nishijima is fucking amazing. Drive My Car is still my favorite cinematic experience I’ve ever had, in no small part because of him. His subtlety and his eyes are unmatched

It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before, telling a simple story but letting music carry the emotional baggage. By the end you don’t just understand each of the JASS boys, you feel them and their desires, goals and passions.
Blue Giant shares a ton of similarities with La La Land. It follows young artists: one of which moved to the big city trying to make it…Translated from by
