Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse It is always a wonder to witness Tsukamoto turning the lack of funds into an opportunity to explore unique methods of shooting film, through a rather raw approach where creativity in all fronts is the rule and Denchu Kozo provides just the opportunity Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Shot on single/super8 with lots of analogue sfx, a weird love story, vampires and unlikely heroes chosen to bring light into the dark ages again.. This is one of my absolute favourite movies I can see over and over again. After the end titles with its great score I can't help but be happy :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Shynia Tsukamoto è sicuramente uno degli autori più originali in assoluto. Uno dei pochi che negli anni '80 è riuscito ad inventare un genere: il cinema cyber-punk, di cui questo film è un po' il manifesto. Tra vampiri, viaggi nel tempo, momenti persino esilaranti e soprattutto la claustrofobia delle lamiere e delle macchine. Geniale. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating as an early rough piece by Tsukamoto. This was a theatre project that they decided to shoot on super-8 before throwing away the sets & costumes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
