People used to say the internet is not real life - but as Kurosawa’s latest shows us that ship sailed a long time ago. A phenomenal look at the dehumanizing inevitability of a life devoted to impulse and urge.
The final scenes reminded me of a comments section gone horribly awry. The last moments? A complete capitulation to the ethos of our age.
Get that bag. Kill or be killed.
This is another film that is clearly a part of the “New Romantic” movement that has been driving the best of global cinema. A strong argument against dehumanization through one of the best shoot outs this side of Peckinpah.
