STRAY DOG (AKIRA KUSOSAWA, 1949)








This movie is the balls.

Reasons:

1. The intro is a whole minute of a dogs tongue wagging in the heat.
2. You get to see Mifune being clean shaven and super handsome while also being unusually young and callow and earnest and acting the motherfucker out of that shit.
3. It just drips with that peculiar feeling of immediately post war Japan, everything in dissaray, people all bitter and confused and the world changing and crime festering in the heat and discontent and so forth.
4. The long montage in the middle where he cruises the ghetto is totally awesome and makes the movie and anyone who says it's too long can go get fucked.
5. It has 1948 japanese burlesque dancers being all hot and sweaty in the summertime.
6. It has this great scene toward the end involving a piano that I won't spoil but I tell you it's a genius scene.
7. It has this other great scene earlier on where this hooker won't give Mifune the information he wants and being a desperate greenhorn detective he just follows her, like literally a foot away from her for about three days until she finally gets sick of him and gives up the goods....

Just watch the dang movie.

    THRONE OF BLOOD (Akira Kurosawa, 1957)






    I've started reading this great joint biography of Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune called "The Emperor And The Wolf", and am concurrently having my own private Kurosawa film festival! I would invite you all to attend, but with me and the lady Lou and the whippet John Doggington in the bed, it's a little crowded already...

    First rickshaw off the rank is Throne Of Blood (Spiders Web Castle was the Japanese title), Kurosawa's adaptation of Macbeth. He massages the story somewhat, and even though it features several elements of traditional japanese Noh theatre, what makes it so good is that it doesn't play stagey like most Shakespeare films, he makes a real movie out of it, and a fucking epic at that! When it rains, it buckets down like crazy, when it fogs the landscape is smothered, when an army storms a castle, there's a thousand of those motherfuckers shooting real arrows at you. And as you can see from the pics above, the more senior Samurai have some fabulous fancy headgear...

    It looks incredible (the scene where they stumble across the witch in the forest is just pure spine tingling foggy night cinema gold), the pacing and constant sense of impending doom is just perfect, and of course Toshiro Mifune does his excellent Toshiro Mifune thing to the hilt as the tough samurai / henpecked husband / pawn of fate / guilty anxiety ridden freakout man Macbeth character. Isuzu Yamada is most excellent as his mask faced goading wife as well. Apparently later in his career when supervising a bunch of clips from his films being put together for an event honouring him, Mifune saw one of their scenes together and proclaimed "Forget about me, you should just show these scenes of Isuzu. Now THAT'S acting!"

    Five stars out of 2!

    EXTRA BONUS

    The DVD I watched of it also had a commentary track by some scholar of japanese film who you expect to sound really nerdy but in fact sounds just like Steve Allen! He's really rather charming and seems to know everything about japanese film and film in general. There's plenty of "notice the very wide tree trunks, somewhat reminiscent of the 1912 german film Das Flinkenflocken, I don't know that Kurosawa had seen that particular picture but it is eminently possible he had..."

    SNOWTOWN (Justin Kurzel, 2011)



    I saw the Snowtown movie about a month ago. While I was watching it I mostly felt bored and confused and heebie jeebied. "Who is that guy? Where did he come from? Why are they killing him? What's the point of all this?"

    But I felt compelled to immediately go and read up on the real case (the sequence of events in the movie made a lot more sense after that), and I found myself haunted and disturbed by it for weeks after. I'd be having a shower or eating some eggs or doing something nice and suddenly i'd flash back to a scene from the movie and be all creeped out. It really started to piss me off! But now I kinda wanna see it again...

    But should I? Is it just morbid curiousity? Being that the feelings it aroused in me were basically all negative and uncomfortable, is there any point to this movie at all (for me at least)?

    Anybody else seen it?
    Thoughts?
