Review of Sans Soleil (1983) by Jacob G — 21 Jul 2012
At its best, Sans Soleil packs powerful images with interesting narration. These images range from the socially casual exploration of Japanese girls turning 20, to the more nightmare-inducing flickering of images from Japanese horror cinema. Which points to the biggest weakness Sans Soleil faces: so much of the film is devoted to Japan that the random excursions to other countries is jarring and alters the flow of the film.
It is hard to criticize too much, since these random diversions showcase some of the strongest scenes in the film.
