Review of Gozu

Gozu (2003)
7/10
Slightly disappointing...
20 October 2003
I'm a big Miike fan but have to say I was let down a bit by gozu. It seemed to me to be little more than a series of unconnected set pieces rather than a coherently plotted movie, and that it was a gross out movie pretending it's high art. And strangely enough I didn't think it was that gross... The ending is almost identical to Lars Von Triers The Kingdom and it was done better there. Don't get me wrong, it's funny as hell and well acted but I was just expecting something more. Maybe I just went in to it too hyped up. Ah well I give it 6/10. If you're new to Miike I'd recommend you leave this alone and check out fudoh or dead or alive instead.
