Comments on: Sukiyaki Western Django http://www.moviezeal.com/sukiyaki-western-django/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

I'm in the pro camp for this one. Probably a step or two higher than Evan from the sounds of it. Most of Sam's comments apply for me as well though, except unforgettable. The only difference is I love the "everything plus the kitchen sink" nature of the flick. It is a mess, a brawling, bloody, sexy, funny mess.

I wouldn't rave about it or anything, but I would certainly suggest people see it, if just for the WTF factor. Unique films like this only come along once in a blue moon, and a glorious failure is often better than an average triumph. You know, I have to admit that I kind of enjoyed Sukiyaki.

I'm afraid I must completely agree with on this summary dire prognosis, although like you I did find some set pieces visually engaging, and the film wasn't a bad entertainment. But it's a mess--unfocused, disjointed, pointless characters, forgettable--all that good stuff..... Very nice review, Calix. “Too bad he forgot to make a movie.”

I’m afraid I must completely agree with on this summary dire prognosis, although like you I did find some set pieces visually engaging, and the film wasn’t a bad entertainment. But it’s a mess–unfocused, disjointed, pointless characters, forgettable–all that good stuff…..

Very nice review, Calix.
