The Eye's Dream

A really cool find. The Eye's Dream is a semi-punk offering, mixed with an arthouse aesthetic, pinku elements, and some horror bits at the end. An eclectic mix for sure, and Sato has some trouble keeping everything under control, but there are some very cool scenes here that are sure to stick with me for some time to come.

Maya is a photographer with a passion for eyes. She believes she has a third eye, which has gone missing. Through her photos, she hopes to find her third eye. One day a neurologist walks into one of her exhibitions. He is fascinated by her work and reveals he is a documentary maker. He wants Maya to feature in one of his films.

The cinematography is pretty edgy, with stark colors and contrasts. The story is a little fuzzy and the pinku elements are a bit too present at times, but the story is intriguing, the film kept surprising me and the finale was worth the wait. Fans of Japanese punk and horror cinema should definitely give this one a try.
