Review of Tokyo Decadence (1992) by Darren B — 29 Nov 2008
If you fail to get this film, you were probably born in the 1980s. This film is also known as "Topaz" and is the result of Murakami's transition from writing novels (Almost Transparent Blue and Coin Locker Babies) to surrealist film.
If you are familiar with the seedier sides of Japanese popular culture you'll notice Yayoi Kasuma and others prominent throughout. It is a surrealist film accompanied by a brilliant soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
If you don't get it or are repulsed, perhaps, you live a quite sheltered life in that case I would recommended "Jesus" (1979).
