Naisu no mori: First Contact is directed by Ishii Katsuhito. I adored Taste of Tea last year from the HIFF, not only because it starred Asano Tadanobu, but because I found it truly entertaining. I didn't want to miss this one from the same director and also starring Asano. They have collaborated also on Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl,
Many of the actors from Taste of Tea were also in this collection of vignettes of bizarre creatures and serious misfits. It simple amazes me how anyone in this movie kept a straight face long enough to make it through to the end.
There were a bunch of squishy creatures ala Existenz, and a club of men who just can't meet girls. The director takes us into some very strange dreams. Really this movie is very hard to explain.
I will give in 4/5 acorns. It is definately not everyone's cup of tea, but I would see it again.
