Toyoda is back.

Like a devil an out of box. This film was actually meant to go together with the Tokyo Olympics, but because of the whole Covid outbreak, the film has been given a slightly different twist. You wouldn't really discount it, because the whole pandemic feels like an essential part of the movie.

A film that mainly relies on atmosphere, so that the first half hour is a bit clingy in terms of narrative. A lot becomes clear in the second half, but in the end I thought that was less important. Toyoda's message is getting across, that's the most important thing.

Furthermore, visually very nice, the soundtrack really great and a few familiar faces (including Matsuda) ensure that the acting is also up to standard. A nice video. Rough and unpolished, as punk cinema should be.

4.5* and a detailed review

The second film in a trilogy set partly around the Kasosan shrine in Tochigi prefecture. The segments can be seen independently of each other, but I would still recommend watching the entire trilogy, which also consists of Wolf's Calling and Go Seppuku Yourselves, because there seems to be of a connecting concept, although it is difficult to explain exactly what that concept is. Mainly a certain kind of atmosphere.

This segment is the longest of the three, has dialogues and some kind of plot, but what it's really about is unclear to me. There is talk of an epidemic, suggesting that the film is inspired by the Covid pandemic. Some parts of the movie work better than others, especially when music is playing. No traditional instruments here, but more the punk music that is often used strongly in Toyoda films. Sometimes beautiful images, especially the snow shot in black and white at the beginning. But other moments, which are a bit more plot-driven, don't work for me, so despite the plot (or maybe because of the plot), this film falls short of the first segment in the trilogy, Wolf's Calling[/i ], while the last part, [i]Go Seppuku Yourselves has a more coherent plot. Just like in the other segments, here too a short scene after the end credits. 3.5*.
