I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Watch out! Comedy meets art-house meets porn. It is advertised on the DVD as a "bizarre trip into the hell of sex". Takeshi visits his nephew; he suffers from Insomnia and whenever he get sleepy, he has the irresistible drive to have sex. For unknown reasons, all women he proposes to (including his nephews girlfriend) cannot resist either. Nor does the nephew mind, since he's busy with his attempt to catch a big squid that was recently seen nearby in the ocean. That's why their home is filled with squid all over. Spoiler to follow: Did I mention all the protagonists end up in hell? If you ever stayed in a cheap hotel overnight, you may have thought it looks like hell and this film will convince you that you were in fact right! A very strange film with lots of weirdness on the one hand and graphic sexual scenes on the other. Not "different" enough to be a masterpiece, but it can still be enjoyed, sort of.
