Blending widescreen cinematography with digital video, JUNK FOOD casts an unblinking but painterly eye over the darkest, most brutal fringes of contemporary Japanese society. JUNK FOOD depicts the hitherto unseen world of aberrant sexuality and savage violence that emerges when the sun goes down and clean, orderly Tokyo exposes its sordid underbelly. From gambling dens to wrestling rings, through make-shift funerals and crime-of-passion murders, director Masashi Yamamoto expertly knits together a series of smoky, neon-lit vignettes with documentary immediacy and gruesome clarity. Cashing in her antiseptic white-collar world for a white powder hell of lethal sex-play and furtive drug abuse, a beautiful young computer programmer unravels her way to the gutter. Clinging to an empty dream of success, a Pakistani immigrant graduates from armed robbery to double homicide. Using the same copycat precision with which they dress and drive, a carbon copy LA style street gang mounts a bloodthirsty coup d'etat of appalling viciousness.

| User ReviewLuke BThis film suffered from a lack of any character or moment to really connect to. Everybody but a sort of twisted creation that inhabits the night. The gritty cinematography was nice for some parts but just became to lifeless. There were also many very poor shots that broke up the flow of a scene. For example when one character goes for the gun it cuts to a close up of him grabbing it, this shot however has a few frames too many at the start and it looks like a home movie. By the end I was extremely disinterested in any character arc or the climax. It's nice to see low budget films, but they could still serve one comprehensible story rather than 5 muddled tales. |
