Ignatiy Vishnevetsky MUBI Formal playfulness (and Miike always plays within the form and never against it) springs out of a seriousness about human emotions, something Miike has in common with Alain Resnais. Nov 19, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A strange but intriguing stage play from Takashi Miike. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't fairly consider this in the same way as other "films" per se. It's more like a play that was filmed -- because that's exactly what it is. So normal film criticism is out, but I can say that the play is engaging, mystical, and a joy to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member If you didn't know this was a play going in, that's your problem. This is still great. I really enjoyed it. I just wish Miike would make an actual movie adaptation of it. That would be beyond awesome. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, as a friend pointed out today, I have been going on a Miike kick for about 10 years. I swear this is just a recent spike in that ongoing trend. He really is one of the worlds greatest directors, and every year his stature goes up. This stage production is great, funny, very engaging. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful and stunning. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member is there anything Miike cannot do when it comes to filming?... live theatre performance filmed and brilliantly edited. good story choice too - matches Miike's sense of humour. highly recommended to fans of japanese culture!
