"the average level of the Japanese product I saw was disappointingly not
that high."

But....

*Hanagatami *"is, at first glance, a glorious mess, but it is one that
gains much power from that mess. It is visually and narratively all over
the place, with practically every shot featuring some process work, and
editing that is more poetic and rhetorical than narrative. .....Obayashi
might have been battling cancer as he filmed this, but he is more alive
than ever."
