Review of The Red Spectacles (1987) by Robert — 14 Feb 2013
If you are expecting some coherent, by-the-numbers action fest, DO NOT see this. The Red Spectacles resembles a David Lynch film more than anything else, in that it is extremely surreal, has lots of black humor, and baffles the unprepared viewer.
For film buffs who love this kind of stuff, however, The Red Spectacles is sure to please. It has an army of assassin mimes (who our main hero wipes out while entirely in the nude!), bizarre slapstick, some stunning imagery, and another great Kenji Kawai score.
Just know what you are getting into.
