Review of Vital (2004) by Allen R — 03 Aug 2011

The most accessible and straightforward film from Shinya Tsukamoto, but certainly not his least dense. VITAL is take on the more commercialized horror films from Japan, but it's still brimming with Tsukamoto brilliance - the scenes of dissection filmed as love scenes come across particularly unnerving.

I know Tadanobu Asano is called "the Japanese Johnny Depp", but I've always found him more like Tobey Maguire - they both possess a similar inexpressive nature in their acting styles.
