Review of Gozu (2003) by Mark W — 23 Nov 2007
GOOD GOD! There simply are no words I can find to properly describe Gozu. Gozu is hands down the craziest, strangest, freakiest movie I've ever seen. I expected weird from Miike, of course, but this was just beyond words.
If this is your first Miike film, for god sakes DO NOT watch this, watch another one of his films first, start somewhere a little lower on the crazy scale. The film teeters on the edge of tastelessness, and would drive any normal viewer insane.
Beyond that, the movie is fantastically filmed, wonderfully acted, and has a reasonable plot with a variety of possible interpretations. But again I cannot recommend this movie to just anyone, you have to develop a taste for this sort of movie.
