If you read about how this movie was made before you watch it, the experience will be 10x better. This movie is very funny, and a little bit on the disturbing side.

Great

wow the ending makes this movie amazing. Up untill the end i was thinking this movie was pretty slow and had some mildly interesting characters and one very odd scene involving milk. Then you get slapped in the face with some good ol Takashi shock and an amazing scene that i wont possibly ever forget.

Should have been right up my alley, but it wasn't. Some of the scenes are awesome -- the last 10 minutes, the cow-man, a couple other scenes -- but I felt it dragged! I'm sure this movie is saying something... someone said repressed homosexuality and I can see that, but I had a hard time getting into it. Not because of the weirdness, just because that for every weird moment, there was a couple not so fantastic moments. Oh well, original and twisted... worth a watch.

The sheer randomness of it all gets tiresome, but even bad Takashi Miike is at least interesting; the "birth" scene will stay with me I'm sure.

"...good, dirty fun."

Confusing, unfunny and pointless.

O que falar de Gozu? Uma verdadeira ode ao bizarro, imagine um pesadelo, isso é Gozu. Um pesadelo surreal, um grande show de horrores! Uma verdadeira experiência cinematográfica, estranha, bizarra e inimaginável, mas mesmo assim uma grande experiência. A cena do parto é simplesmente formidável.

Very David Lynch-esque, with all the good and bad connotations of that phrase. Some of it is rather pointless (and needlessly disgusting) but it's all pretty engaging. I got enough lactation in Visitor Q however, I don't need to see any more of that... ever.

Cheap Lynch/Cronenberg rip off.

"Unlike Ichi the Killer and the considerably shorter Visitor Q, Gozu's random acts of hysteria don't seem to add up to anything." - Ed Gonzalez

This movie is nearly perfect. It alienates you to the point where you like it. Much like Ichi, don't watch it if you feel sick.

we get it miike. your movies are batshit inane. bravo.

For someone who pumps out movies faster than an assembly line worker pump out cars, it's not surprising to find that Miike's films vary in quality. One thing does remains consistent, and that is that he is one twisted motherfucker (and that's a compliment, by the way). Gozu, however, isn't his strongest effort. It's not even his most dementedly imaginative. Despite the brilliant Cronenbergian finale, the overall impression is of an aimless and empty film (that's not a compliment, by the way).

bastante perturbadora, al menos a mi me dejo con los nervios de punta, el final es bastante bueno como siempre, miike me dejo satisfecho con otra grande

People seem to think it's good just because it's Japanese or something

Hey look it's a bunch of weird stuff happening without any reason to care and none of which will really be explained. It was atmospheric at times, but mostly it just felt point- and aimless. Does get a few bonus points for drooling man-cow, the worst way to die captured on film (it involves a ladle) and a hilariously twisted birth.

Crazy...

what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

Remember when you were a kid riding your bike around town and every corner you turned was a new place you'd never seen before? Also, remember drinking milk from your mother's breasts? I got an Alice in Wonderland vibe from this big-time, so naturally I'm all over it. Lots of paranoia too. Miike's a cool dude. Childish maybe, but that's what makes him great.
