Review of Invisible Waves (2006) by Asia B — 20 Aug 2007
A bizarrely twisted revenge/mystery/holiday plot lures (the ever-wonderful) Tadanobu Asano into a very confusing journey in this four-language co-production (english, thai, japanese and cantonese). It is certainly odd hearing Asano speak english and the initial multi-lingual confusion can be distracting but this is nonetheless a very absorbing, if rather nihilistic film.
The rusty cargo-hold look is impressively consistent and Hye-Jeong Kang(?)'s character is great, though not really given enough airing. The convoluted plot is weakened by the mixed languages and length, which means that quite a bit of patience is needed though the strong tone, and of course Asano himself, do eventually come through.
