#NowWatching Toshiaki Toyoda’s PORNOSTAR. The title is deceptive as it seems there is zero pornography in Toyada’s debut from 1998 however there is yakuza slaughtering madness & destructive hell bent nihilism by the bucketload! He went on to make BLUE SPRING so I’m all in! #japan
From the opening moments scored with an epic distorted guitar riff I knew I was going to vibe with this! There is so much interesting camerawork used, there are so many insane editing choices & there are some of the most random and inspired singular moments I’ve seen in ages!
This boxset is so damn good! I’m only a third of the way through it and I already know it was worth every penny! It’s also without question the prettiest piece of physical media I own! I will never not appreciate the work of @thirdwindow 🙌
PORNOSTAR is Toyoda’s grimy and grungy feature debut and whilst it’s not a perfect film it has so much genuine gold in it that I couldn’t help but love it! It is bold and interesting and takes some really random turns and plenty of risks! Seek it out! https://boxd.it/1PgYh1
