Antenna

(2004, Kazuyoshi Kumakiri)

This was probably the hardest movie to get my hands on and watch comfortably. In the end I was stuck watching a corrupted file that digitally disintegrated every 5 minutes then returned to normal. Ironically this is how the mentality of the characters acted, going crazy then returning on screen later relatively composed. Ryo Kase was fantastic though. Hopefully I can score an import copy in the future and watch again with clarity.
