I just don't understand why people praise this movie. I'm not a fan of alienated films like this one, but after I red the reviews about it I decided to give it a try.
****************** Spoilers Below *****************************
For the first hour of the movie, it was like a strange road movie with a lot of creepy characters. Strange, but nothing unusual. Others Have done it. In the middle of the film, when Nose tells Minami about the keeper of the coffee-place being dead for three years, I thought that all the town was populated by dead people ( It was very convenient since it could explain the vanishing of Ozaki). Actually I hoped it would turn that way. It would be kind of twilight zone theme. After the appearing of Ozaki the woman Gozu lost any connection to the previous 1.5 hour, or to any possible sense in the movie. The last part of reappearing of Ozaki the man was final punch to the movie. I just spent more then two hours on watching something what appeared to be a total loss.
******************* Spoilers Above ******************************
Gozu's main character (Minami) is not bad at all, but that's why my rating of this movie is 2/10 and not 1.
If you are not a fan of weird movies, skip this one. Otherwise you will regret seeing it.
