Everything Goes Wrong

About This Movie

So, 'Everything Goes Wrong' – a Seijun Suzuki film from 1960, really dives deep into the chaos of personal relationships amid a gritty backdrop of crime and human folly. Jiro, the young protagonist, finds himself in a chaotic spiral as he tries to sever his mother's ties with this shady businessman. The atmosphere is heavy, layered with a sense of impending doom, and you can feel the weight of each character's choices. The pacing is interesting, sometimes slow but often punctuated by sudden tensions. Performances are raw, and the practical effects have this rough edge that feels very real. It's a unique blend of drama and crime, exploring themes of rebellion and moral ambiguity, which give it a distinct flavor in Suzuki's oeuvre.
