Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

extreme director Nagasi Oshima. Kei Sato, as the true-life serial rapist/murderer is cold, menacing, and completely believable as the man that terrorized large areas of Japan for one year in the fifties. His was a strange pattern: drunkenness in the morning followed by daylight attacks during which the victims were first choked unconscious.
This brilliant film, through flashbacks of the two women in the criminal's life, his girlfriend and his wife, explores how he came to coldly and repeatedly violate and kill defenseless women.
The most chilling revelations are at the very end.
The actresses are both very beautiful, in very different ways and the cinematography, with its 1500 (or so) cuts, is amazing.
This is a film that doesn't rely on cheap thrills; as Hitch the Master said, anyone can jump out from behind a door and scare you.

No Top Shot 'round here. I have more on my "saved" list than current. I don't think Net has bought an "art" - tinear 11:35:45 02/15/12 (0)
