    these nikkatsu films are some of the most demented pieces of cinema i've ever seen. this one has a teacher who is raped by "someone" at the school, and begins to seek the perpetrator out with a jigsaw puzzle he left behind- not because she wants justice. but because she's in love (or obsessed) with her assailant. the story is presented as "matter of fact" which gives it a very disorienting character- and more importantly, a rather sinister one as well.

    never read the books nor watched lynch's 84 attempt so i went into this completely blind. honestly, i didn't like it at all. felt like i had no idea what the hell was going as the story seems more massive than what is being shown, and all the explosion doesn't help because it's trying to set up a world in such a "just go with it" tone. wish they never green lit the 2nd part

    the dave bautista portion was hilarious to me. can anyone tell me why most of the people of his race are so "buff" when they clearly do nothing else but just prepare for a war that never comes? literarly bautista is just walking around talking to a bald guy taking a mud bath, so i don't get when he gets time to work out.

    i've been watching quite a few of these nikkatsu films and most are wild, but this one really tips the scales. it's almost like takashi miike, david cronenberg and john waters all collaborated on a film. clearly it has a comic book inspired story- but this one took things to the very extreme left.

    the lighthouse: nonsensical but not in a good way. meh.

    couldn't make it past 5 minutes into this. i don't get the fascination with this guy and the guy that made midsommar. i can't even find redeeming qualities in their films while everyone else seems to fawn over them like they're unsung auteurs

    this was so amazing i feel like it transcends filmmaking and becomes something new. the mindset required to "go" with the story, really challenges the viewer in what they are willing to accept- and somehow it works. or doesn't

    Is it ok to say that I thought Chapelle's new show on Netflix was hilarious or will I get cancelled?

    i loved it too.

    this was classic. a group of hell raising low life bikers called the satan's bring hell to a (very small) community on the outskirts of los angeles. low budget, low brow and trashy cinema happening right around the same time charlie manson is settling into spahn ranch (and film there too) and starring dr jacoby as the sadists leader.
