excellent I just finished two other of his films, "Seance" and "Charisma." They are pretentious, confused, and pointless. Don't let this stop you from seeing BF, however. It's kind of like a "Rebel Without a Cause," Japanese-style.
Two friends jointly work deadend jobs until one commits an extremely violent act. The perp keeps a deadly pet which is then taken care of by the friend.
No, the plot doesn't exactly sound riveting but the acting, mood, and insight into modern Asian, industrialized culture is fascinating.
Follow Ups:
Sorry to disagree but I did not like it and found it pointless. I usually like a quirky movie like this and often like foreign movies just to see the different lifestyles around the world but for some reason I thought this movie was trite. Maybe it was my mood and it has been some months since I watched it so can not give a better explanation but instead, just a different point of view.
I should say one example I like foreign films is because of being able to see the different lifestyles but also I think they are usually more intelligently written and often have character nuances that are presented in a natural manner and not explained to you by the director or script as often is done in american films. I think Bright Future had ideas that were neat and fun but I did not care about the characters or their reasons and convictions for doing what they did.
director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, needn't always have a direct cause. He has expressed the view that we think an extremely violent act means a murderer quietly has been among us where the more accurate view is that we all have this potential and occasionally, when circumstances are "right," anyone of us can so erupt.
A chilling thought: we're not surrounded by normal folks but rather groups of potential murderers.
see "different lifestyles" I can see why you couldn't appreciate this film.
The disaffection of youth looking toward a future of mechanized triteness, shallowness of modern life, lack of emotional connection in industrialzied society... yeah, not exactly a tourism experience.
