Goaisatsu

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'Goaisatsu' from 1991, and it really stands out in its own quirky way. It's an anthology, which gives it this unique structure where different stories try to unpack the Japanese greeting 'goaisatsu.' The tone shifts quite a bit; some segments are lighthearted, almost whimsical, while others dive deeper into the nuances of communication and connection. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but that sort of adds to its charm. The practical effects are nothing over-the-top, but they do have a certain minimalist flair. The performances range, with some actors really getting into the absurdity of their roles. It’s a distinctive piece, definitely not your run-of-the-mill comedy.

Anthology format allows for diverse storytelling. · Mix of lighthearted and deeper themes. · Interesting exploration of social interactions.
