Cure & Family Game: Japanese Cinema is Amazingly Strange and Wonderful


Been watching a string of violent Japanese films from the end of last century. The fifteen years or so after WWII is said to have produced some of the most overtly angry and violent films in Japanese history (fucking makes sense!) but somehow I dont agree. There is something to be said for violent movies with a positive outlook on life, which i'd argue, Cure is. Although, Family Game (rather Kazoku gêmu) is not positive. It is amazing though. Funny, playful, grim and while, purely theatre, completely real.

(You wouldnt believe the difficulty in finding a good pic or trailer for this movie. Jesus!)
