In 2017, Shinichiro Ueda's “One Cut of the Dead” splattered across screens. Earning accolades such as the audience award at both 2018's San Diego Asian Film Festival and Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival, the movie unmistakably impacted viewers. Due to this popularity, a continuation was produced: “One Cut of the Dead Spin-Off: In Hollywood.” Though Ueda returns as screenwriter, assistant director of the first film, Yuya Nakaizumi, takes the helm as the director.

Shinichiro Ueda made history quite emphatically back in 2017 when his debut work “One Cut of the Dead” was released. The independent project with its cheap, off-the-wall filmmaking was made on a meagre $25,000 budget and opened in only 2 screens across Japan. By the time it finished its theatrical run, it had played in more than 250 screens nationwide, had earned more than a thousand times its budget in Japan alone and just as much internationally and had picked up several domestic and international awards along the way. It is, therefore, no surprise that his follow-up project “Special Actors” was looked forward to by fans with as much anticipation as skepticism, because to ask a director to follow a debut feature of such staggering success is a tall ask to begin with.

The film is based on the ero guro manga by Suehiro Maruo, which circulated in 1984 and was previously adapted in an anime film, in 1992, titled “Midori”.
The story revolves around 14-years-old Midori, an orphan who is picked by the Aka Neko circus troup. The other members include Kanabun, a seemingly cute transvestite who harbors a truly dark side, as he has no issue in killing two puppies with his heels in order to cook them for the troupe. Muchisute is a man with no arms filled with bandages, who is capable of doing everything with his legs, including shooting a bow. The rest of the members are a brute who swallows swords, a sultry woman named Kojiro Arashi and two utterly peculiar creatures of unknown origin. All of them seem to bully Midori, occasionally becoming violent towards her, even blaming her for the commercial failures the circus is experiencing. Everything changes however,...

So, going into the final stretch before the Oscars are announced, I have a question: if you like—no, love this year’s front-running La La Land, does that make you a bad person, or just deluded? Don’t laugh—there may be people at your own Oscar party who will have already come to their own conclusion on that conundrum. This year’s presumptive favorite is so presumptive that people are talking about the film as if it had already won and are projecting as to whether it’s an enduring classic or just another meh-fest to be thrown on the mediocrity pile along with Crash, Chicago, Argo, The Artist and about half of the rest of Oscar’s Best Picture winners since the Academy started handing out awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in 1929. It is hard to deny, no matter how much you like or dislike La La Land,...
