The greatest movie ever made..!
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
This documentary made my jaw drop a few times,the cannibal is a very...very creepy person.He murdered a woman...ate her and now lives free in his home country.this whole thing makes me sick honestly,there is overwhelming evidence that he did this and he confessed but he considered insane and incompetent to stand trial and lives free and has been for over 20 years! I cannot believe this whole thing happened and hes a free man....doing god knows what because he is completely unsupervised.What really makes this documentary creepy is the one on one interview with the cannibal him self,he is incredibly graphic and cold when explaining his murders and that he talks about how he still wants to cannibalize.pretty good documentary if this stuff interest you.
There are so many things these days to outrage you that viewing something that really ought to be fiction shouldn't be one of them.In France a Japanese man befriends a local girl and he falls in love with her. In time he kills and east her. Not content with his hideous criminal actions he photographed his deed! So with enough evidence AND a confession, you'd have thought that a conviction and long jail sentence wouldn't have been too difficult. But you'd think wrong! The Japanese man came from a very rich Japanese family - and so begins a story which will horrify all decent people around the world.Because this killer and admitted cannibal has never stood trial, despite enough evidence, confession and pictorial evidence, in fact he even became a celebrity and write 19 books! Watch the documentary and find out the full details, interesting, frustrating, and annoying.
