Shucks! Well, I’m not a fairweather fan, so I’ll stick by Kurosawa and see “Loft”; but, it sure ain’t soundin’ good…. Shucks!

I could have walked out had I not thought the other six works were so fresh, complex and focused. It's like Cronenberg deciding to helm <i><b>The Ring 19</b></i>, it just doesn't make sense.

I'm not crazy about "Charisma" or "Pulse", though it might have been the shaft of light I was sitting in, who knows? "Bright Future" was my first love and "Cure" clinched it. I actually got him to autograph my dvd cover of "Cure" when he was here in SF with "Doppelganger." Being disappointed in Kiyoshi is still a worthwhile experience, though.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors and I am very much looking forward to "Loft", even though I stand cautioned of its limitations. Where were you lucky enough to catch a screening?
