Review of Imprint (2007) by Stephanie M — 12 Nov 2008

This saga was somewhat convoluted. I felt disconnected to Christopher; there was no empathy for his stuggle or lost love. I also found that not realizing Michie was more of an entity than a woman made the transforamtion to Komomo ridiculous, rather than profound. But this being an installment in a series, and Miike's first production filmed for english audiences, I put my criticisums aside as watched the movie as a visual storyboard, keeping my focus on the incredible scenery and staggering 'shock' scenes. Fans who know, know what their in for. We want to vicariously feel the pain, and add another notch on our tolenance belt.

I guess your always as good as your best work... and Takashi Miike is impressive.
