Reviews
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
In 1968, 19 year old Norio Nagayama killed four people in four cities in Japan, using a stolen gun.Instead making a fictional account of his life and crimes, or putting together a clichéd documentary, director Masao Adachi applied his 'Theory of Landscape' and shows us the boy's environment as he travelled the country looking for work, punctuated with a sparse, discordant experimental jazz soundtrack and brief patches of narration filling in the basic details of his life in the run up to his murder spree.While certainly not your average 'serial killer' film, there is much to reward those looking for something more cerebral from their films, and despite being constructed from a series of 'landscape' shots, 'AKA Serial Killer' leaves the viewer with much to think about long after the film has ended.
