funky forest: the review!

at least answer me: what in god's name is this movie about?!




in my extensive experience with movie reviews, i can say that usually it is a dangerous path of spoilers. however, fear not, for how can you give away a movie's plot when, well, THERE IS NONE! it took me two sittings to get thru Funky Forest. partially because it is almost 3 hours long, and (not unlike watching Tommy!), you begin to feel insane around halfway.






this was all taken into consideration, and the filmmakers even provide the intermission for your much needed pause.





a series of short movies with characters that intertwine, Funky Forest is NOT a hollywood film. your first clue is that there is no linear plot. it is a collection of related themes, and some super intense costumes. you second clue is that it is in japanese.

"karyn, what are the themes?" (you seem to ask), "is it more death?" (you seem to continue). surprisingly no. no one dies. however, there are lots of monsters/aliens, so i feel it still falls within my genius generalizations of an entire culture's cinematic history. man, am i good!!









Final analysis: (out of 10 noodles)

monsters/aliens: 8 noodles
dance moves: 10+ noodles
jams: 7 noodles
plot: not available noodles

so, basically, this movie is about aliens and dance moves.


here is also a picture of the noodles i used to rate this film:




just kidding, but, i did eat them.
