Super entertaining. Watch it in one sitting! Extremely hard to explain. Almost every question you have is answered at the end. It's sorta like a Japanese Pulp Fiction... but not... it has emotional undertones that make it poignant at times. It's just a great film. Minor flaws. 9/10.

A bizarre film helmed by an advert director and featuring multiple differing story lines and Vinnie Jones as an assassin. Surprisingly, the result is few, if any, surprises. The direction is colourful and over the top, the ideas are huge and weird and Vinnie Jones is a great thug. The problem is two fold though. Firstly, as often happens with these multiple story films, the stories don't really gel. They occasionally coincide, but do nothing to really support or enhance each other. Furthermore, almost all the plots are based on something repeating. The murderer's wife who keeps coming back from the dead, the man who is hypnotised in to thinking he's a chicken so just keeps behaving as a chicken, the odd gay couple who keep giving each other the eye and nothing more. It's a bit heavy on repetition and goes on a bit too long and so even the surprise ending doesn't really live up to the wait. I'd say you should watch it for the sheer uniqueness of it, but for such a unique film, don't expect it to stay with you for anything other then when someone next asks you what the craziest film you've ever seen is.

Anthology is rare in Japanese cinema, the only one I can recall are horror anthologies. Survive Style 5+ was a refreshing approach to this genre by introducing 5 interconnected stories from the bizarre to the trivial. It's one of the strangest films I've seen but the ensemble definitely worthes a watch

It's meandering and kinda bonkers, but in a beautiful, colourful, quirky, witty way. Surreal enough to draw you in with its mystery but still makes enough sense to avoid frustration. Great characters.
