“I never thought I would say this about a Seijun Suzuki film, but my god was this boring. For starters, its meandering story told at a snailu0026#39;s pace should have been about an hour shorter. It often felt surreal just for the sake of being surreal, e.g. The trio of beggars with bizarre affectations singing their raunchy songs, the eyeball licking, etc. Other times it was just banal, with conversations that seemed pointless to me. It is marginally better in its final half hour, but thatu0026#39;s not saying much. I never felt cohesion or a payoff that warranted all of the silliness, and this is not one Iu0026#39;d care to sit through again.”
