Future Blues

About This Movie

So, 'Future Blues' is quite an intriguing piece, really. Directed by Katsu Nagaishi, it blends a short film format with this live concert experience. The atmosphere is electric, thanks to Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts, whose music carries a certain jazzy, bluesy vibe reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop. The pacing feels deliberate, letting you soak in the visuals while the music pulses through the air. The short film component features practical effects that, while not overly flashy, serve the story well. The performances, especially during the concert, create a sense of intimacy that pulls you right in. It’s not just about the music; it's about the whole experience, the way it ties together. Definitely stands out in Katsu Nagaishi's work.
