Taifû kurabu

I love films that contemplate life in its rawest form. Who we are as people, why we are. And I feel this film was aiming for that.

But it did not hit the mark. The characters were underdeveloped to the point that they all blended into each other, and that worked against the film. And the pacing. I believe this film can cut out 30 minutes worth of needless shots that go on like a run on sentence.

The plot, which is sprinkled about the film, moves so slowly. And even when it reaches a conclusion, it has no meaning whatsoever.

The shots are well placed, and the cinematography was great; aside from the exterior night scenes.

I give this film a four because the cinematography and the atmosphere created by it are quite nice. And there is one scene that is deeply suspenseful.

If you are looking for a film that has a mellow mood, this is for you. Don't expect to learn much, or understand most,
