  • Hyouka

    Hyouka

    ★★★★

    I wonder why no one mentions the brilliant political struggle Hyouka carries implicitly; The despair and oppressed feeling for the failed student socialist activism of late 1960s in Japan, that was silently passed to Chitanda by her uncle and burried in her subconsciousness, as an unknown and hidden trauma which she stives to understand and dig it up. (Hyouka = I Scream = I yell out the supressed sound of socialism and the unfaithfulness of others). So Chitanda actually appears…

  • Yojimbo

    Yojimbo

    ★★★★

    Beside everything that makes Yojimbo a prominent samurai film (that even directly influences spaghetti western cinema), it's soundtrack is quite catchy for me. Combination of a traditional Japanese theme, with a western rhythm and use of tumpet.
    Remember the opening? How it makes a ronin's casual walk seem jazzy!
