Things I Watched: Bright Future – I Won’t Try to Explain

If you’re unfamiliar with Kiyoshi Kurosawa then I have nothing to offer except the advice that you should get familiar with him. He makes extremely strange films like Bright Future - an oneiric tale about two disconnected youths that eventually morphs into a father-son ghost story.

I especially love MUBI’s description of the film.

'Enigmatic Mamoru lives alone with his poisonous, hauntingly luminous jellyfish.'

I give up if that doesn't make you want to watch it.
