James Dapa Ole
the life of a showman.
there's honestly so much to love about this film, the performances are undeniably breathtaking, the cinematography stages kabuki like poetry in motion, and how the story manages the peaks and valleys of life is masterful. yet, the film (like Kikuo) suffers from over ambition. It's the wrong medium for such a sprawling story, the narratives depth cries for the intimacy of a serialized format or the stage itself.
KOKUHO had the potential to be an all-time great film, but in trying to contain a lifetime within three hours, it just falls short-leaving the audience in awe of its beauty, and aching for what could've been.
