Sound & Fury

I have been a Sturgill Simpson fan for a long time. Love the movie as well as the soundtrack!

This anime short truly reminds me of the Cowboy Bebop series/movie. The whole rambling story line and disjointed scenes, along with the soundtrack make for a hell of a ride!

Don't look for a linear story or homogenous style here; it's more about impressions, themes, and the mesh of atmospheric music with dynamic animation. expect an experience, but don't expect a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other narrative. also, watch through the credits. they're not at the end.

Japanese Anime + scuzzy rock music by Sturgill. Love the idea behind this and the visuals are great and vary from song to song. Basically a 40 minute music video. Does kinda feel like the animation doesn't coincide with the music but still very entertaining and the art direction is on point. Think the Black Keys scoring a samurai western apocalypse short film.

I love the idea of Netflix pouring money into an album and an artist to make an Anime-music-album-movie I really do. I really liked the first 15 minutes, with the samurai character, but dance sequence with all the other 'slaves' pulled me completely out of the story, even more so when it became live action.

It should have been ONE good story, no dialogue but some sound would have brought the whole thing alive.

I gave it a 7 only because I believe that this format could become a good medium that brings back music-videos back to their former glory.

Watch it for the first 15 minutes, then you can go on to something else. But, as entertainment it's very niche.
