Celluloid Nightmares

É um Mocumentário bem desenvolvido até, onde mostra as nojeiras da indústria de filmes adultos japoneses em busca de cada vez mais exploração de fetiches, mas não me surpreendeu tanto quanto o filme de 1988 do diretor Hisayasu Satō que claramente foi usado de inspiração. A menção do Shunji Iwai foi muito aleatória hahahahah.

Celluloid Nightmares

“𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺.” This has been on my watchlist since I was a teenager. Had no access to it until now where the internet looks a lot different than it did in the early 2010s, when information was best found in gold nuggets by deep dark holes of endless tabs and pitted searches. Meta. Sharp. Dark. Here is the parasocial relationship fraught by way of mockumentary crime-horror drama. Cinema verité becomes a tightrope as we are unsure of what is true or not, but the story, in all its mystery, becomes true enough to follow. In the underbelly of the adult entertainment world, with period-blood pussy eating and pixelated faces, none of it is gratuitous when you get to the twists and extremities by the end. And with the short running time in mind, I think this achieves its status as a cult film that still holds up quite well. Left this in shock, relief, and laughter, truly afraid of the horrors it bordered by the end, right before the end of the end came.
