| User ReviewYün-ke CParas musikaali. Ohjaaja oli ollut pannassa joku 40 vuotta ja sitten tekee jotain tallaista. |
| User ReviewGamal IVery Bizarre! The best musical I've seen for years. Seijun Suzuki put all of his experience and imagination in this film. |
| User ReviewMatthew Cthe weirdest shit you will ever ever EVER see I can promise yoou |
| User ReviewNaeemah FMy brain!!!! Youch. Creative, Out of control fun. Musical madness. And I mean every genre of music you can stick into an "opera." Stylistic art piece. Shot on green screen, backgrounds and movement twist and turn. Goodness..the movements. Costumes....Argh! This could go on forever...Loved it! |
| User ReviewPrivate UYeah, having watched this with no subtitles and only a basic understanding of Japanese probably hurt things... but everything clicked into place when people started rapping on the moon. |
| User ReviewOliver KIt is hilarious. Only Suzuki could do this. Goes far beyond anime crazyness to reach it's own level of sheer chaos. As a typical late Suzuki film there are no rules but the ones he makes up for his own amusement! But every now and again there are moments of genius, light shed on one of the greatest imaginations in existence today. |
| User ReviewDiego Ba real collage, very funny, cute and very special, Seijun Suzuki directed branding to kill another spectacular film |
| User ReviewEugenia BOne of the only musicals I enjoyed watching. Seijun Suzuki always makes his films unbearably interesting/weird. I like how Zhang Ziyi mainly spoke Mandarin while the rest of the cast spoke Japanese. They had conversations in which one would speak Japanese while Zhang Ziyi would speak Mandarin. This movie mixes many genres of music for their various songs. |
| User ReviewCaroline Snice if you like opera in the theatre, puzzling if you don't. However, the visual feast is well worth the ride for those who have an interest in Japan. |
| User ReviewThomas KFun randomness. I watched this without subtitles and at like three in the morning. I'll probably end up buying it just to figure out what was going on, as I couldn't catch the Chinese parts. |
