A Snake of June (2002) d. Shinya Tsukamoto
A bizarre love triangle dripping with sexual tension. It's also constantly dripping with rain! Surreal psychodrama from #ShinyaTsukamoto. Shot with a blue filter which adds to the melancholy. My kind of romance. 🩵

Killing (2018) #ShinyaTsukamoto
A masterless samurai struggles with his reluctance to kill. The frenetic and dizzying handheld cinematography is still there and is particularly effective in the fight scenes; flashes of steel and jets of blood that are not always easy to follow but full of tension...

Nightmare Detective 2 (2008) d. Shinya Tsukamoto
A satisfying J-horror sequel which finds Kyoichi Kagenuma aka Nightmare Detective once again attempting to navigate convoluted dreamscapes and surreal night terrors.
Here ends my #ShinyaTsukamoto fortnight. Fifteen films watched and I loved them all.

Kotoko (2011) d. Shinya Tsukamoto
Kotoko is overwhelmed by her environment and suffers increasing mental anguish as her sanity crumbles. Often heartbreaking but occasionally funny, this is a tough watch but also a touching portrait of the world from inside a tortured mind.

A really tiny 'Tetsuo' poster I drew up a couple of years ago. Drawing tiny film posters is the best practice and I should commit more often.

Gemini (1999) d. Shinya Tsukamoto

Nightmare Detective (2006) d. Shinya Tsukamoto
Singer Hitomi plays a police investigator who teams up with a young man who can enter people's dreams, the Nightmare Detective of the film's title. Lots to like here and Hitomi does a fine job away from the microphone.
