| User ReviewLuke B"No score yet..." is the note I found in this movie's page. I can't just put up with that. Of course this is a japanese movie, and even in Japan, people can see this movie only in a few theaters. But certainly, this movie shouldn't be unnoticed. Or maybe you guys can't technically see this movie? Is the movie not available in your countries? Is that your problem? If it is, what a tragedy. That means you miss an union of 2 one of the kind creators - Cocco and Shinya Tsukamoto. And it is incredible how well this worked. The character Kotoko had to be Cocco. Who else can do this? Nobody else on the earth. I'm big fan of hers as a singer. She's doing in this movie exactly what she's doing when she sings - she's doing everything she can to make it happen. She totally devotes herself to what she creates. She is honest, so honest that she breaks your heart. Please see this movie. Just see this movie. Please. |
| User ReviewGiancarlo GNon ho molto da dire: questo non è cinema facile nè immediato, questo è cinema in cui l'apporto della mente e del cuore dello spettatore è fondamentale. Questo è grande cinema. |
| User ReviewMilan MIf you already have an interest in Cocco, you'll probably like this film. It has many uncomfortable moments but at the heart of it there's a lot of love. |
| User ReviewSandy RDisturbing, intense but wholly captivating drama about a woman suffering from mental illness. This film is undoubtedly not for everyone and makes for quite uncomfortable viewing. The way in which director Shinya Tsukamoto constructs the film means you literally take a front seat in the mind of Kotoko. The sound design is especially impressive and a scene towards the end where inanimate objects take on a life of their own is nothing short of amazing. Singer-songwriter Cocco is outstanding in her first starring role and Tsukamoto also features in the film. The overall tone of the film is very grim but it's still a hypnotic and memorable experience. |
