Ikinai

Finished viewing right now! I think that the kind of "suicide" within film has been treated in all ways and in all possible genres but this time we are in front of something original, in fact, this Japanese film did not give me a sense of already seen, the director He has chosen a particular style and also unpublished, a sort Road Movie dramatic but with a hint of humor. The 90s were for Japan (economically and socially) particularly dark, with the peak of the highest suicide history, the film in question makes it clear complaint and the director shows it openly. There are white-collar workers laid off or reduced in pavement, fathers of families who can not make ends meet, the sociopath who does not believe in anything ... any for all tastes! The film is very slow, but for myself it was not a problem, d 'on the other hand a high amount of Japanese films are structured and filmed so especially if you are facing the dire and dramatic arguments as in this case the suicide. I liked it? It is the movie I liked, but you could tell better and in a way a little more complex the story of the characters, inserting maybe another twenty minutes longer and bringing the film to a total duration of two hours, would have helped to make "Ikinai" even more interesting. It is not a movie for everyone, the film leaves important messages, I do not recommend it to those looking for a relaxing and movies fast.
