Audience Member Very artsy, pretty cute and an enjoyable movie overall. An awesome source of inspiration for design. Consume with ice cream (just kidding, kind of). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member so traditional ,loved it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This was my first exposure to the films of Seijun Suzuki. I found it inventive, colorful, and positively baffling mishmash of elements. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Forbidden love blossoms between tanuki and human. Stylistic children's movie is mostly song and dance numbers performed on sparsely decorated sets. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Movies that are heavily packed with symbolism can be fascinating. But problems occur when a viewer isn't very well versed in the culture that produced the symbols. That's what happened with me and this movie. It's beautifully produced, and interesting in its surreal combination of theater and movie styles. But other than recognizing that lots of symbolic things were going on, I had almost no idea what the film was about beyond the most basic elements of the plot (which are fairly simple, typical fairytale concepts). If you're more up on your Japanese mythology and cultural symbolism (especially traditional theater), you'll probably get a lot more out of this movie than I did. Otherwise, you'll probably be left scratching your head, as I was. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is completely crazy, but fun if that's what you're in the mood for. The Japanese seem to have a very strange view of Catholicism too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
