Avis à la une
All Night Long 3 (1996) is the final film of the dark and depraved trilogy. Part three (like the second movie) was also shot on video giving the movie a gritty snuff video feel. This film summarizes the trilogy by referring to humans as garbage. The film maker's over all view of the world that we live in today is pretty grim. Ah, what a world we live in today.
A young and sleazy guy works in a sex hotel. He has to take customers up to their rooms. Working in this type of environment is not very helpful for a person's psyche, especially this clown who's only a few steps away from a total meltdown. One day he spots his perfect mate. There's one problem, she has no idea that he exists. But that doesn't stop him from following her all around town and rummaging through her garbage and eating her left overs. Soon he meets a man who looks like an older version of himself. He shows him all the tricks of the trade (he's a garbage digger himself). It's only a matter of time before the student becomes the master. Will the guy ever regain his sanity before it's too late? Can he meet the girl of his dreams without fumbling around in her refuse? Will he ever find true love? Who knows, you'll have to watch to find out!
A dark and twisted ending to the trilogy. I wasn't prepared for this type of film when I first saw them. I don't think anyone can sit through all of the films in one sitting. The realism the film maker used when making these films is quite shocking. What's scary about this movie is that there are people like the ones showcased in the trilogy floating around out there all around the world.
Recommended for fans of the genre.
Rated X and it definitely shows!

Japanese film maker Katsuya Matsumura is responsible for this extreme trilogy, All Night Long, that is highly controversial in Japan (and elsewhere where it's known) and only the first film, All Night Long (1992), managed to get a theatrical release, the sequels, All Night Long 2: Atrocity (1994) and All Night Long 3: The Final Atrocity (1996), were denied a theatrical release and so they received only a video market distribution of some kind.
This third entry is a little different from the first two films and concentrates on a disturbed teenager who works on some kind of a sex hotel in which customers visit with their sex companions, spend a steamy night together and then leave the room filled with used condoms and other filth around the place. This protagonist works there with another male and a slightly elder female who all are not as balanced human beings as they could. He collects pubic hair from the sheets and practises other similar anti-social things. Soon the boy starts to get obsessed with a girl that lives near and he starts to collect her trash and leftover food and everything possible. He becomes obsessed with trash bags and collects them to his room, bathing in filth, literally and eating (the girl's) garbage and making nice collections of her sanitary towels and so on. It is easy to get the picture by now, and the film really is as outrageous in its imagery and hard to take (to say the least) as it sounds. Welcome to the origins of living, sorry filth, the truth about our very selves, but in a very extreme and merciless way without too much hope for a better world anymore.
The film is as horrible as just possible, without any signs of humanity or purity left. The first film had that one female character, the second film had also at least one (albeit a very unbalanced and disturbed one after strong sexual humiliation etc.), but this third film is practically completely without those elements of hope. There are only bad, selfish, mean spirited and evil characters here who only try to keep on living by satisfying their instincts for carnal pleasure, humiliation and violence, all of which are usually practised together. The imagery and scenes are so dirty and depressing it really requires an "experienced" non-mainstream cinema viewer to be able to handle it, I would say according to what I felt when watching this. That is also among the film's negative things as it would have needed, like part 2, at least one ray of light among its characters, but, like the previous film, these sequels work better if they are watched as if they were connected to the first film straightly.
This third film is also the "smallest" in the series, taking place in the mysterious apartment/dumping ground environment where the half dead characters scrape their precarious living. The second was slightly better as it had those images of real life atrocities and terror, but the "largest" is easily the first film which takes place in a familiar society with its schools and other elements found everywhere where humans live. Still part 3 has many scenes of products of industrialism (like military aeroplanes and so on) which Matsumura shows a lot so he definitely tries to achieve bigger waters with this film, too, which is of course good for the film.
There are some great lines that crystallize the themes of this series in each film, alongside the greatest power in Japanese cinema, the silence which is used (fortunately) in Matsumura's work, too. In part 2, a character says "if there wasn't sex, you people would be nothing" and that goes very well with part 3, too, as the film is set in the hotel of sexual desire and voyeurism. It is really the only thing these people have in their miserable lives as it is one of the primary instincts in our nature. Another great line comes from this part 3 which suggests that humans are born half dead, growing up until they finally become completely dead. Humans are living garbage, nothing else. Matsumura must be the most pessimistic and misanthropic film maker ever and that's why his honest, argumented and feared work is so great even with its few flaws.
Otherwise part 3 has one rather negative side and it is its slow pace and a lack of a "hook" at the beginning to really grab the attention of the viewer. Now the 82 NTSC minutes piece feels awfully too long especially as the first 45 minutes or so of the film is so calm and full of silent images. There would have been something to make it very interesting from the very beginning and also some cuts to the more unnecessary parts would have been welcome. Also the bullied school girl character remains a mystery: why can't she fight back and try to survive from the hell her school mates have created around her? I would also like to ask why the lead character becomes so obsessed with the filthy white trash bags in the first place, so the characters in this third All Night Long film are easily the weakest ones.
This is an expected ending to the disturbing trilogy. It has perhaps more shocking and graphic violence at some parts, but overall is equally nihilistic and horribly disturbing with the previous films, especially part 2. This is the kind of cinema that don't get made too often or in too many territories, Japan being usually the bravest one. All Night Long is probably the darkest film trilogy ever made anywhere, and it is great it has a rather talented and visionary maker behind it so that it achieves a lot more than an average exploitation director, with no ambition, from the same script would have achieved. Enter if you dare to see the harrowing truth and vision of ugliest kind. 5/10

The third film in Katsuya Matsumura's All Night Long series (originally a trilogy, but currently standing at six films) is disturbing, even more so than the director's previous two ANL movies, which goes to make it the most 'successful' of the original trilogy. If, like me, you felt that parts one and two weren't quite grim enough, this tale of utter moral turpitude should definitely do the trick.
Yûjin Kitagawa stars as loner high-school student Kikuo Sawada, whose job cleaning rooms in a love hotel allows him access to all sorts of goodies: pubic hairs, used condoms, dirty tissues etc. Kikuo's interest in yucky detritus becomes an obsession when he discovers the trash of pretty grocery worker Hitomi Nomura (Ryôka Yuzuki). Rummaging through her waste, he finds such treasures as dirty panty liners, old stockings, a used toothbrush, half-eaten food, and personal documents, which he takes home to create a shrine to the young woman.
One night, while diving into Hitomi's rubbish on the sidewalk, Kikuo is approached by fellow 'dust hunter' Kawasaki (Tomoroh Taguchi of the Tetsuo trilogy), who takes the lad home to show him his own collection, all neatly catalogued and filed.
As Kikuo continues with his hobby, he becomes more and more divorced from reality, viewing people as little more than garbage. So when he discovers a schoolgirl unconscious at the local dump, the girl having been raped, urinated on, and bludgeoned by his co-workers at the hotel, he takes her to his home and treats her like just like one of his pieces of refuse, prodding and examining her and cataloguing her details. When the girl finally recovers enough to object, calling him trash, he strangles her. With no further use for her, he saws up her body in the bath and takes her back to the dump. While Kikuo is digging a hole, Kawasaki shows up with some helpful advice for getting rid of bodies, directing the young man to a nearby furnace. Not wishing to leave things to chance, Kikuo kills Kawasaki with a shovel and throws his body into the fire as well.
Kikuo descends even further into madness (yes, even further) when he spots Hitomi entering the love hotel with a man. Spying through an air vent, he sees Hitomi having sex, and his idealistic impression of the woman is destroyed; after pulling down his shrine, he arms himself with a gun (found in a drawer at Kawasaki's home), and goes on a bloody rampage. The film ends with Kikuo taking Hitomi back to his home, just another piece of rubbish to be catalogued (and we know what happened to the last girl he treated that way!).
Director Matsumura doesn't shy away from showing acts of extreme violence, rape, degradation, humiliation and general deviancy in detail (especially the despicable treatment of the throwaway character of a mascochistic girl with scarred legs). However, it is the film's relentlessly nihilistic tone, and its extremely pessimistic message that humans are nothing more than living garbage, that go to make this a particularly challenging watch. There is not a single ray of light or positivity in the whole film, making it an essential watch for fans of transgressive cinema.

I was not impressed by the first entry in this series and the second one was only a slight improvement.However this third entry remodels ideas found in both of those into a genuine masterpiece of voyeuristic cinema.Yuji Kitagawa (later a pop star) is a college student who collects people's garbage as a hobby.While sifting through Kanori Kadomatsu's garbage,he falls in love with her and obsessively collects all her throwaways (including her sanitary towels).He even eats her leftover food and drink.All the other characters in the film are equally twisted,including "dust hunter" Tomoroh Taguchi (TETSUO).If you're not easily offended (honestly,it's pretty strong stuff),this vicious slice of anti-social cinema is very very well made and will stay with you for a long time
The 3rd installment of the now "infamous" ALL NIGHT LONG trilogy, THE FINAL CHAPTER, is also a very decent film. Part 1 of the series was kinda slow and not too "shocking", but ATROCITY (part 2) and THE FINAL CHAPTER really stepped things up a notch. Although THE FINAL CHAPTER may not be quite as bloody as ATROCITY, this one is far more psychologically whacked-out, and really extends the idea of alienation and social outcast-ism to the highest level. A semi-retarded kid that works in a "by-the-hour" hotel becomes obsessed with a cute grocery store worker. He begins digging in her trash and decorating his room with her discarded personal items, including her used tampons and maxi-pads. Needless to say this kid is a f**ked up freak. Like part 1 of the series, there are a few plot lines that are unnecessary, like the retarded girl that keeps getting abused by everyone for no apparent reason in the beginning of the film, then just disappears after the first 20 or so minutes...but even so, the gradual decline of this kid into utter insanity and obsession is interesting and powerful to watch. There are definitely some "rough" scenes, the rape, kidnap, torture and dismemberment of our main character's "surogate" obsessee is pretty hard-core. The ending is appropriately gory and distasteful - and extremely downbeat and hopeless. I feel that THE FINAL CHAPTER is the strongest in terms of being psychologically disturbing, but still has a few minor faults in the story-telling. ATROCITY (part 2) is sleaker and gorier, but not as "deep". I definitely like both of the sequels better than Part 1, but I can't honestly say which of the second 2 films I like better. Both are good and definitely worth checking out, especially if you've only seen Part 1 and walked away disappointed. Altogether, the ALL NIGHT LONG trilogy is pretty strong viewing and absolutely not for the casual movie-goer. Those of us out there that seek out extreme "shock-cinema" will be pleasantly surprised. Recommended 8.5/10
