Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (2005 / Japan / Takashi Miike)

My take ...
Hey, initially I was full of hope, given that it is screened in one of our art film theatre, and it premiered in Berlin ... but becos i was too busy, i was unsure to watch or otherwise (cos some reviews on the web were less than positive) ... finally i gave it a try ... becos Japanese DVDs are way too expensive ...

My verdict is : 
WOW ... it was better than i expected ... the experimental style was very interesting ... ... in particular ...
(i) the partial reality/partial stage like performance/set design ... 
(ii) the repeating sequences of narrative
(iii) the initial dance ... what a pounding soundtrack ...
(iv) AND most impt of all, like most Japanese film ... the PHILOSOPHICAL aspect of it ... and that means, a second watch is usually necessary ... 

AND if possible: a QUESTION and ANSWER session with the director would be better ... ... ha ha ha

Hi A, at the Berlin Film Festival, was there any interesting Q&A with the director?

Hi A and justin, what do you think is the significance of the butterfly? or any other worth discussing scene/things/style etc?

as usual, i am less than thrilled by the space and heaven depiction ... but becos of its experimental style, it was ok, not jarring ...

Conclusion:
overall, do give it a chance ... recommended
