The story centers on a group of young people who travel back in time when they are in a movie theater just before closing time. They witness deaths during the closing days of Japan's feudal times and on the battlefront in China before they are sent to Hiroshima just before the Aug. 6, 1945, atomic bombing of the city. (imdb)

An absolute assault on the senses, this movie is a three-hour tour de force through Japanese history, cinema, culture and more, told at a breakneck pace and with no regard to keeping its viewers up to speed. The more background you bring to this, the more you're likely to get out of it, but I'd be lying if I said that I understood even half of it. Thankfully the pace does slow down enough eventually to make the movie's anti-war message connect emotionally.

Honestly I don't know how to rate this movie as it breaks too many norms and standards to be comparable. It is as accessible as Fort Knox and an attack on your senses but enjoyable through and through. Luckily Sion Sonos "Love and Peace" provided me with the necessary vocabulary to make sense of about half the things I ultimately truly understood.

A weird and surreal movie about Japan's history of war and it's war movies at the same time that is intentionally all over the place. It's sensory overload but in a fun way and it's anti war message in the finale is a welcome change of pace to drive the fascination between war and cinema home at an emotional level.

Clearly from a director who wants to make a final statement with last movie. A statement about war, a statement about depiction of war in movies. The crosscutting is hectic, the first half is pure sensory overload. It's so stuffed with references to both cinema and Japanese history, I probably missed half and understood half. What's impressive that in this second half all the crosscutting between different timelines/movies begins make emotional sense. From all the chaos comes order.
