Original title: Hausu
Country: Japan
Year: 1977
Director: Nobuhiko Obayashi
cult film for some movies to forget for (many) more ... Hausu is the directorial debut of Nobuhiko Obayashi, which in 1977 brings a frenzy of on-screen color images and perhaps never seen before.
History, fairly trivial, part of the usual school and the usual schoolgirl at the mercy of the inevitable family crisis. From here the idea of \u200b\u200bbringing a group of companions on a trip to the home of her aunt, who lives in a kind of cursed castle on top of the cliff top surrounded by a moat and fiery lava and guarded by a ferocious dragon.
Seriously, the "home" is the true protagonist of the film, acting as a refuge and a prison at the same time, place of serenity and security family hides but (like all the houses in this world) made of a dark side perversions, violence and unorthodox rituals unheard.
do not expect the usual meatloaf psicological-dramatic Hausu is anything but boring, all but seriously ... anything but movies.
Two hours of hallucinations, delusions, visual-sound, trash found worthy to be handed down to posterity (can not forget the head in the well or the piano cannibal) and so, so, I ask.
The weaving of plots and subplots is reason for being in the presence of disturbing (even for gattofili most hardened like me) a seraphic white Persian cat (in fact, white is for the Japanese synonymous with death) and sowing terror (and mewing) for the duration of the film. A work
strange, to be taken with too many expectations and not to be considered for what it is: a long video shot in the psychedelic '70s. Funny.
