Tanin no kao (1966)
Good concept, poor execution
5 September 2022
I enjoyed the concept of a mask as well as overall philosophy of a movie. Those were undoubtedly thought-provoking dialogs between characters which pointed out the issue of alienation, an attempt of getting along with societal rules, pursuing mental freedom.
Aesthetically pleasing, a little weird old Japanese work not as insane and sharp as Korean The Housemaid but more like bland melancholic Bruno Schulz's stories The Cinnamon Shops.
Although rationally I would say the movie shares an important message which also approves my worldview, it didn't resonate with me emotionally. The content has been delivered in inadequate dry way without affecting imagination, thus I was losing focus and hardly maintained to get to the final.
