Cinematography, interesting work with the camera, no obsession with toys - all this is in this great film.
It's interesting to think that 2022 gave us Kamen Rider Black Sun, a heavily-promoted international release aimed at adults that I found almost
relentlessly
banal and off-putting, and Trio Of Deep Sin, a movie that was completely off my radar that managed to be a thoughtful, nuanced portrayal of how memory becomes its own character in a story as we get older.
I really love that Saber opted to make its first V-Cin into a contemplative, character-focused adult drama. It's mature in the way stuff like Amazons and Black Sun never were to me: conflicted about adulthood, desperate to connect emotionally, and melancholy about its superheroics. It's... yeah, it's just a good
movie
, full stop.

The thing about Rintaro's dad, which I could probably spend at least a paragraph being apoplectic about, I didn't really leave the film with an interest in litigating failures or whatever. I liked its tone, and its gentleness, and its anger, and its need to put that anger somewhere, and its revelation that putting the anger anywhere leaves no room for sincerity and joy. The details... I don't really care? I don't really care.
