I grew up in an era where anything Japanese was 'avant-garde' to most Europeans, and you quickly learned that Kurosawa was king.
Kurosawa is now neck-and-neck with Kim Ki-Duk, but 'the old Japanese' movies are still synonomous with a bygone era of movies that we will never be able to see the like of, again.
"Flower And Snake" ('74) is one of those movies, and though it's not quite as hard a hit as, say, "A Wife To Be Sacrified" or "In The Realm Of The Senses", it's still a very, very worthwhile movie to watch.
The movie falls a little short, timewise (only about 75 minutes), but it's enough to whet your appetite and get you through the first course of the meal.
It's not a fabulous movie, but if this is your first 'filmu pinku' it will certainly whet your appetite for more. |
