    Mononoke the Movie: The Phantom in the Rain

    ★★★½

    It took me about 40 mins of the run time to really be able to sink into the film mainly due to the overwhelmingly stunning visuals. There really is a lot going on on the screen, not entirely helped by how fast it jumps to the next shot but jeepers did they do an astounding job of animating this. 

    Once I got into it I had a great time and I’m excited for the next instalment. I feel as if…

    Rough pick for a first film on a Sunday morning but what a film.

    Before I started doing Letterboxd I had just watched Hereditary for the first time and I’m enthralled by these horrors where we’re examining the worst emotions and actions that a person can experience, mixed in with just enough of a supernatural allegory to really hit it home. 

    Recommended months ago by my hairdresser. Cheers Mark.

    Loved it, not seen it in years and definitely didn’t get it when I first watched it. Was great to go into it with a fresh perspective. Frodos a creep.

    Sound and vision were spectacular and I deeply felt the inner turmoil of Owen, I had to take a pause to really digest the last scene.

    Only thing is I could have done with less of the exposition of what happened in the Pink Opaque reality. Love the concept but begun to drag when we started getting a lore dump.
