Great review Steve. Can safely say this film is completely new to me. I think the only Japanese cinema I've seen is Seven Samurai and that was decades ago. Very curious to check out Demon Pond though after hearing your thoughts on it 😊

Its certainly very theatrical Tony but i quite like that, Pandoras Box is coming soon.

If you want to have a better feel for Japanese cinema, I suggest starting w some of their greatest examples from the 1960’s… arguably their high water mark. Sword of Doom, Hara Kiri, Branded to Kill, Tokyo Drifter, so many Kurosawa entries and more. It’s one of my favorite cinema niches. Nothing at the quality level of our average modern Transformers flick (lol) but I bet you’ll enjoy and appreciate at least a few of these movies. GANBATTE! (Good luck!)
