Despite some issues, the combination of the presentation of the “underground” Japanese culture, the analysis of the characters, the sex and the violence, and the overall audiovisual “package” of “Snakes and Earrings” deem it an excellent film

Rated: 7.5

A little bit of an odd one. Stumbled onto this and had no idea what I was getting into. Focuses on a female character named Louis, she seems to be rather young and bored in life so looks to get various body modifications done after meeting a guy at a club, who inspired her to do this. Various things occur throughout the film, wasn't really something I could connect with personally, not necessarily because it's a foreign film but because we don't know much about the characters. Why is this girl so self destructive with a drinking problems and thoughts of suicide? What is this movie trying to tell me? I didn't really get it, not that the film needs to have a point but I am just trying to figure out how I was supposed to enjoy it. 😅 The film reminded me of an American film called Thirteen from the early 00s, about a teen girl who becomes rebellious after being influenced by someone else, that movie wasn't really for me either but hey, each to their own.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
