Gozu

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

I have been meaning to rewatch this for what might be a few years now. Overall, this is probably Miike's best film... it best encapsulates all the stuff he's good at: creating atmosphere, weird humor, audacious/disturbing/hilarious sex and violence, homosexual undertones, dream logic. And the finale has to be one of the most bizarre, incredible endings in film history... a woman giving birth to a full grown man. This is great, crazy shit.

I can't figure out what was up, but when I put it on our TV in the living room, it was fullscreen. Was it a fullscreen movie, and I just forgot? Well, when I put it on in the bedroom, it was widescreen. How in the hell?
