IFF Rotterdam 2011 Hot as Hell: The Deadbeat March, Yosuke Okuda, 2010
A good-looking no-budget gangster film that is sloppy in the program text (even the summary is wrong) vague and unnecessarily brought with Johnnie To and the name Tarantino. For several strands accumulated stupidity compounded by stupid coincidences leads close to the abyss and the only reason then return to everyday life, because in any case is pathetic. "You're not even deserve to be killed" is the name for Ippei Yamada, as well: back to day job, read water meters and monitor water flow in faucets. In ten years perhaps beckons to seniority. Condescending the look of the film is still never Ippei. There are no civil or glamorous (the top gangster who emerges is even a little bit smarter than the other and his Takeshi Kitano-attitude-placed fear), this scrap outside world, at least none that would be desirable.
You do not have any turn of this admittedly in its humor but join something Tarantino-ridden first film to realize that no one is demonstrated. The humor is never against the social realist moment, as a genre film it all works, but irgedwie too, but in miniature, in meetings and conversations in pubs, for example, refers Hot as Hell to himself as the lost you are lost-to theatricalise look, conceal, as is also seen time and again against each other in one another and how it can still be no community narrative, because would the communication and other means just not for solidarity, drinking the over the joint and cokes to go out, be enough: Always include the short scene, but already in the enthusiastic greetings and farewells to feindet embarrassed so much more intelligence than in the film world and slick handling Cinema Festival, in which one unfortunately in Rotterdam is not certain. Since building a version of the building blocks of a world he knows, a pointed and a bit into the cultural imaginary moved them together.
It takes a while before Ippei ever first appears. Before bringing the two dumbest of all, the eternally zugekoksten Tetsuo and Saburo, the thing going. Is wonderful, especially the scene where the two (like the other very decidedly non-actors) are waiting in the car on a deal, of course, will go wrong and bawl during which a strange pop song / nursery rhyme (?). Yosuke Okuda Mise en scene can also be the most bizarre grimaces Saburos and the wildest Gehampel can not bring calm. Succeeded, the film is also why: Because it should not be available Büdget as an excuse for taking silly pictures, because it neatly resolves his scenes, because you realize in what kind of world the characters move and how they relate to her. Okuda himself also has a central role, his character appears, from all the most authentic. And she caught it at the end of the worst.
