Monsieur F @Monsieur_FU Jan 4 A fever dream of expressionism within an evil deadly LSD trip inside the inner chambers of the traditional Japanese Ooku hierarchy flavored with some Nouvelle Vague from the early Goddard era. Technically and stylistically this movie is not for the photosensitive aka epileptic viewer. Problematic: Too many protagonists and a lot of name droppings at the beginning of the movie that distract and irritate. Mostly the characters stay one-dimensional and in a distance. The plot is very high paced and dense, but the drama, the suspense and the thrill don’t succeed. I am just a spectator and get a lot of colourful scenes, some conspiracies and Ooku politics that don’t grip. It’s difficult to rate this movie fairly because it has its own vision and style and crafts a tense atmosphere inside the inner chambers of the Ooku but as a murder mystery, as a supernatural drama or as a political thriller it fails Worth a watch, if you like to see a very unusual Asian animation movie.

Handcrafted and digital animation work harmoniously together, providing strong support for the script. It's a shame that something so good lasts only 74 minutes. See more Read all reviews
