NEKO-MIMI (1993)Directed by Jun KurosawaDoomsy’s Rating: 87/100NEKO-MIMI is a film that acts as a slipstream to almost every emotion possible, floating through time and space from elation to enmity. It sets you adrift in a headspace of beauty and darkness, but Jun Kurosawa effortlessly blends the gorgeously grainy lo-fi cinematography with a full spectrum of hues, tints, and colors that extended to every area of the rainbow so that the mind can feel them. The experience stands as more or less a mood ring of a film, changing palette and filming techniques with the unstable emotions of the characters, who remain lost in permanent thought loops that only lead to their irrevocable self-destruction. In terms of experimental avant-garde Japanese cinema, this is right up there for best I’ve seen. A remarkable gem of haunting surrealism. -- source link
