A Snake of June
Director: Shinya Tsukamoto
Year Released: 2002
Rating: 1.0
Tsukamoto's M.O. seems to be: outstanding visuals, lame script, overacting. That's how it was with Tokyo Fist and it hasn't changed: visual kinetics alone cannot compensate for a fundamental lack of purpose or the arbitrary inclusion of things like a robotic tentacle/cock (which even the director has no clue why he put it in there), breast cancer and obsessive compulsive disorder. Tsukamoto has the tools needed to make a good villain (which he usually is) and a music video director, but feature film-length efforts - even ones that are as slim (77 minutes) as this - fizzle out quickly.
