Himizu (2012)

Okay, i don't know how to begin, I was one day bored without dramas or something to see and i saw someone that said that this movie was amazing, so i began and the story it's about an earthquake and the lifes of the people after that and it seems normal but OMG it's so amazing, then we see Yuichi (Shota Sometani) a simple guy but he has really bad "parents", well, they don't deserve to be called parents, and our lead girl that she's in love with him, well...you can say it in that way LOL
The acting: It's beyond the perfection, i was so inmersed in the movie, they were perfect in their roles, all the cast was amazing, I hated the parents and it was a movie that I'll never forget (because it was perfect)
The music was fine, nothing that I'll remember forever
Rewatch value: I have seen this movie 3 times and I'm not a person who likes to rewatch dramas or movies.
Overall: if you have a good cast, little bizarre things that are typical in japanese movies, two leads with a dysfunctional family then JACKPOT! If you're looking for a good movie you must see it, you're not to wast your time

I just watched Himuzu and it was amazing. It took no time at all to immediately reek of Sono awesomeness. It was intense and poetic and disturbing and strangely captivating like all of his movies are. The OST really gets a hold of you and it heightens the surrealness of the movie. You can also see some of the Suicide Club type messages in this one where it seems he's confronting some of societies issues. I also like that he uses the same actors. I love when directors do that. And the actors did a great job, especially the young girl. I also felt that Himizu was a little bit cleaner and inspiration than his other films. Sono Shion fans will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it.
