This is one mean movie

This is one mean movie Posted on Jul 31 2006 at 1:16pm by It starts out innocently enough. It's even kind of touching. A sad movie industry guy who's lost his wife wants a new one. He sets up auditions, under the pretense of casting a film. Then this previously-lyrical movie takes a hard left when he gets considerably more than he bargained for. I won't wreck the rest of the movie by giving details, but I will say that I sat down to watch this one with my wife and mother-in-law (who is cinematically adventurous) and they couldn't make it to the end.
I lent the DVD to my brother, who watches all kinds of disturbing stuff, and I still got in trouble. Enjoy.

RE: This is one mean movie Posted on Apr 16 2007 at 3:53am by I've seen this movie a number of times and i love it more and more. I think this is the best film that Miike has made so far. It dives into so many different things like the filtering of past (history), man/female relationships, can love be something more than "soft affection"? and other things. haha. just love the delicate, feminine way it all goes down in the end. haha. its beautiful... if you're into that stuff.
