Product: The Mystery of Rampo (1995)
Rating: 5.0
One of the Greats in Asian Film
The Mystery of Rampo is a film shot with the Asian flair for finding the grandest of visuals in simplicity. Containing a gripping story that is heartfelt, and a musical score that touches the soul, one cannot help but be pulled into the psychological struggles of the main characters. As the fiber of the work is completed through the final scenes, one is left with the same wonder found in gazing at a dew-soaked spiderweb, glistening in its own beauty. If you enjoyed the visual tecniques seen in "Ran", then this film is for you. Full of motion and gorgeous lighting, the sequences build tension in an ever-so-slight manner. I highly recommend this film!!!!
