Captivating Visuals and Ambitious Directorial Style Shine with Room for Improvement
23 April 2023 - 11 out of 18 users found this review helpful.
The visuals are stronger than the storyline, and the female lead's stunning presence on screen is captivating. It's evident that the director is enthralled by the beauty of Eastern aesthetics, and some scenes are filled with a sense of psychedelic allure. You can feel the director's ambition, potential, and skill in visual language and personal style, but there is still room for improvement, especially in terms of clarity of expression. Looking forward to the director's next work.
However, some characters lack background explanations and character arcs. During the viewing process, I was actually expecting to learn more about the backstory of a few characters, but unfortunately, it was not portrayed.
