    Partial waste of time
    It seems that Kurosawa used some sort of the "stamps" during the shot period and totally forgot what he wanted to tell us (OK, OK, not to "us" - just to me). For a contrast you may see another Japanese title - "Enter the void", which itself is a one big "stamp" but is a masterpiece in, at least, its visual part. Because IMDb requires 10+ lines of review, I will add them in a quick way:

    Music 3/10, despite the hero is a "music producer". Actors acting 7/10 - especially the heroine. An Idea behind the scenes - non trivial, hard to formulate. Realisation - oops, 3/10. Total 4/10. And the last line: of course, you should see it by yourself to have your own opinion and not to read such a stupid "reviews" like this one.
