Perhaps no film has so profoundly challenged the viewer with a truly ambiguous approach to time, where truth mingles with lie, and chronology blurs with fantasy. | |

| In his last film, Seijun Suzuki presents an unhinged fantasy in which elaborate costumes mark different levels of reality. Sachiko Itô’s dazzling costumes share the same radical mix of traditional, pop and outright surreal influences evident in the film’s plot, choreography, lighting and set design, all bathed in Suzuki’s unique spectrum of colour. They open a realm of mythology, between human and animal – a space of spectacle and confusion between two-dimensional ink painting, three-dimensional theatre and a fourth dimension of metamorphosis. | |
