  Gunbuster was much better.

  The Beast 1975

  The famous dream sequence is indeed as obscene and revolting as one might hope; it is already foreshadowed in the opening scene of horses at play, with the drawn-out close-ups of horse genitals and vigorous humping. Yet this is also a comedy of male folly and an exploration of female sexuality. Probably safer to watch alone, regardless.

  Thought this would be good with the glowing reviews floating around, but it wasn’t even passable. Maybe they were going for realism, but there are so many unnecessary scenes (the mother, the chase that dragged on and on etc) that went on for no apparent reason. In fact, nothing really happens in the second half—it could have been shortened to less than an hour and done. By the end, I had lost any sympathy for any of the characters, and wished I hadn’t bought this film and wasted my time.
