Den-en Ni Shisu

Japanese art film action complete with white-faced actors, an inflatable woman, uncomfortable nudity, and much more! This is several stories mashed together and it’s pretty confusing at first. There isn’t so much of a main plot, but apparently it was based on a series of poems. The main character is a boy who wants to go to the big city, there is also a woman with a bastard child, a gang of ghostly elderly women, a surreal circus… then, about halfway through, the forth wall is broken and there’s a modern older version of the boy making this movie. It’s weird and I can’t say I’d recommend it to anyone except for those looking for trippy, drugged-out visuals.
