Uzumaki

Wermode · 04-18-2002, 04:49 AM

After reading comments here about Uzumaki, I grabbed a copy.

I can't think of a film that more effectively captures the distortion of reality (and just plain fear) caused by obsession...being sucked into a vortex. Haunting images at just the right times, and nice acting throughout.

Some reviewers I've read on other sites dismissed Uzumaki as "a film about a bunch of spirals." As usual, mainstream critics just don't get it.

People who don't like bizarre humor or surreal presentation should probably try before they buy this one, but I loved it. Thanks for the recommendation, forumites.

I loved Uzumaki...it had a real style of its own and was very original, you cant say the same about alot of films lately

Im always on the look out for something like this, does anyone have any other suggestions?? (please dont say Inugami as it bored me to tears!)

I got that it was about obesession; I liked it, but wasnt particularly creeped out or scared. I think the spiral thing was neat, but it still felt gimmacky. Still, if you love style, the film is impressive and has it in spades. I recommend it all the time, a shame more people havent seen it.

I love Uzumaki. It's like Tim Burton on acid or something. I thought that scene with homeboy all caught up underneath the wheels of that car was pretty disturbing. I can't get the look on his face out of my mind. It's interesting to watch this and find all the subliminal spirals too.
