Review of Bullet Ballet (1998) by Giuseppe V — 29 Aug 2012

Another huge masterpiece from Tsukamoto. Delirious atmosphere in a urban degrade which sinks ever and ever into a coil of exploited violence, gun fetishism and both spiritual and physical wreckage. Undeground feeling (subway and "sprawl" are the stage for this movie, whose character are mainly deranged punks and a middle-class alienated man with the obsession for his gun) is the touch which makes the movie really unforgettable.
