Survive Style 5+
2004/Sekiguchi

This is what real movies are made of. First time director Gen Sekiguchi crafts a beautifully strange multi-character film that runs the full gamut of emotions, experiments with several distinct styles of direction and editing, and on top of that, everything's so damn beautifully colorful. The film begins with five seperate stories that gradually intertwine and collide, with parts that play like a horror movie, parts that play like comedy, parts that play like tear-jerking drama, and parts that just play like nothing you've ever seen before. I'll be rewatching this sometime very soon to justify the 4 star rating.





I dream in widescreen.
