Review of Japón (2003) by Private U — 12 Mar 2008
A monster filmmaker with an intellectual to match. What if I continue a panning up to full circle despite the fact the actor exits off frame in the first quarter? Life is all about this and that, so he seems to say, "I show you this but I also show you everything else".
It's like italian Neorealism when you would pitch what you're interested in without beeing dictated by the filmmakers what's important and what's not. Unlike the Western approach, in here they don't tell you, "Look, you're stupid, let me show you".
Realist performances, almost bordering hypernaturalism for the sake of film intergrity as a social tool.
