I liked Tetsuo in some aspects for example effects for the budget and the way the film was shot amongst other things but it had no real plot and wasn't really an enjoyable watch.
Snake of June was great to watch as I was happy to see the director of Tetsuo make a film which followed a story line. I was impressed with the way that he revolved the whole film around 3 characters and although there are other actors they tend to appear in the background or as part of the set rather than meaning anything in particular in the story.
There seems to be a message in there I can only find one maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to read between the lines with these sorts of films but as I said I was once again impressed with the way it was filmed the story was to me very original the only problem I had with the film was towards the ending.
The entire film played out some normality each scene followed on making perfect sense no problem then right at the end there are several scenes with two of the main characters and a couple with some police officers which just do not correlate with each other leaving me very confused also some major bruising disappears between scenes as well. I know the film was good but a lot does rest on the ending and confusing the hell out of the audience didn't help with my vote. The other thought I had about this film and Tetsuo was what is the point they don't give any particular strong messages they are certainly not enjoyable to watch not films I would probably bother to watch again. Although Miikes films can be very odd at least they are enjoyable there is humour I can watch his films over and over. And so I end this review much like the end of the film very confused...
