It was directed by Takashi Murakami, a famous Japanese visual artist. I guess that’s why they picked it up?

[realdopecomics]

Takashi Murakami is a Goat of art. It definitely isn’t for everyone, but I loved it.

[bobutley]

Definitely gonna take this warning, but also definitely gotta check this out

[morningowl]

I like the part when he describes why the movies bad

[Bunny-chul]

It's not really a "movie" per se. It's more of an art piece. In the context of Takashi Murakami's oeuvre as a whole, it's actually pretty great. It's very deliberately a mashup of a million overused tropes. The kitsch is very intentional. It's incredibly successful at what it tries to do. Most of the reasons people say it's "bad" are almost like saying Blazing Saddles is a "bad" western. If you want it to be a John Wayne western, it's a terrible western. That's not what it's supposed to be though.

The release didn't really do it any favors by not providing more context. I would have done this with some additional Takashi Murakami art postcards or something. I feel like that would make it make a lot more sense overall.

For me, it was Mulholland Drive 4K scan but their 1080P (before they released the UHD). It's a digitally noisy picture in certain spots and it's not the film grain.

I see paths of glory!! Love that one!!

[MyFireVideos]

Nice. I feel like some people are afraid to answer this question

[Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I remember when they released that I went to Barnes and Noble and bought it impulsively. Ended up being the last of my money in my account and I had a huge overdraft fee. Then I got home and watched it and obviously really regretted it lol

[Digitalcowboy]

Lmao !!! Me and my fiancée have a long running joke when we don’t know what to watch we say jellyfish eyes to one an another because it’s the worst movie we own .

[lamecasuelas]

Imagine playing Full price, same with Tiny furniture

[kennethgross]

Metascore of 34 on the IMDB. That’s pretty sorry!

[eriklempelsndergaard]

Takeshi Murakami has like a bunch of films and none of them have good ratings. Actually impressive

[KinoBrava]

At least you didn't buy Border Radio.

[eldiarioderorschach]

I think you’re missing the point.
Criterions are not for the casual viewer. You don’t buy a Criterion Collection movie just to see if you’re gonna like it. You buy a Criterion Collection movie because you have watched that movie several times before and you’re looking to know and appreciate more about that movie. Just because you didn’t like doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie.

[FriedTux]

🤔... I have a couple of nominations.

The Mummy 2017
Lost In Space 1998
Project Gemini 2022

[AbrasiousProductions]

sickens me that shit like this is in the criterion collection but not Shaun of the Dead (2004)

[Outatime]

I regret buying the black panther steelbook

[SotNist]

Only ones I regret buying is shrill, trashy horror shlock at premium boutique prices. ie: New York Ripper. Conversely, this looks like something I might enjoy.

[paulconway]

Criterion release a lot of artsy stuff that I wouldn't risk buying.
