    ★★★★

    Chime est un film mystérieux et atmosphérique. Je n'ai pas tout compris, mais je pense que c'est l'essence même du film. Après quelques films dramatiques, Kurosawa revient à ses origines, et je le préfère ainsi. J'ai l'intention de voir son autre film de cette année, et j'ai hâte de le découvrir.

    It's clever without trying to be too smug about it. It is utterly bizarre, but it plays it completely straight for the entire runtime. I loved the deadpan comedy and the matter-of-fact way that characters communicate with each other. The narrator also adds another layer of comedy, as Rachel Weisz sometimes literally just repeats the things that we've already heard and gives the dumbest explanations of the events that we're seeing unfold. The movie itself serves both as a critique…

    Surprised by how much I liked this. It keeps getting better and better the further it goes. A great mixture of noir influences with the cynic conspiracy thriller so typical for the 90s. Might even rewatch it later this year with even more focus.

    ★★★★

    A pretty good take on idealistic yakuza struggling to live in the changing times. While most of these stories center around the pre-post-WWII transition, this one is about the change from Taisho to Showa era, and the growing relationship between crime syndicates and right-wing political parties. Nakadai is amazing in this one. The way he expresses emotion with his eyes is almost unparalleled.
