Casshern Reviewed by Hayashi Tomoko

To be true: I guess a lot of people won’t like this movie.

There’s nothing cute to be found, nothing funny.

World is not a nice place to be.

Even love turns out wrong.

Death is the on constant thing.

But I loved this movie.

good acting - you really feel with the characters, even though there are few dialoges. Their faces and - often tiny - movements are clear and strong.

This movie is working with colors and sound - both overwhelming even at scenes in b/w without bany sound… Often the images seem unreal, like someone did rather draw than film it. Even cruel and sad scenes get their own strange beauty through this.

Whoever the director of this movie was (s)he did a great job!.
