Movie Reviews

6.8/10. Recommended.

This is the first Masahiro's Shinoda that i watch. It was not great but i intended to watch more movies of his in the future. First of all, it was well directed and visually, it was beautiful. Directing and cinematography aren't enough, i can't like a movie which is beautiful to watch but in other terms of film-making, it's mediocre at best. Fortunately, HIMIKO is not mediocre, this is a good movie, with an interesting story and i was somewhat invested, hence this recommendation. The fact that it's basen on an ancient Japanese legend, made me even more eager to watch it, pacing is good and it never got boring. Thing is, it was not exciting either. Not for a minute i felt that i watch a MUST WATCH movie. A bit messy and confusing, at some point i didn't understand those characters at all, random things kept happening without explanation about their motives.In any case, this is a good arthouse drama.

Perfection

The sheer perfection, through out the whole movie, of aesthetical elememts, such as: costumes, sets, makeup and theatrical physical performances - is absolutely astounding. The story is very much worthy its scenery but less audacious and abstract then other japanese new wave movie and thus, for me personally, makes for a great single watch but tedious at a second.
