william d @acsdoug 01/02/2023 Japanese cinema jumped into the 1960s' "avant garde/artistic" movement with both feet. All the elements are here: a non-linear, meandering story that goes nowhere, innocuous dialogue, tight close ups from weird camera angles, you get the idea. I imagine that for most of the audience back in 1967 the big draw was all the topless girls. If I had seen this back then I imagine I would have felt the same way. However, this is 2023 and boobs are abundant, so don't waste your time with this one. See more Read all reviews
