Kenichi Ugana is definitely one to watch. I really loved his new film
Love Will Tear Us Apart that is screening at Another Hole in the Head Film Festival. The story is really engaging, and it has some very beautiful cinematography like that last shot. I love the twists and reveals in it too. I think you can truly feel for the main character. Sayu Kubota gives such a fantastic performance as Wakaba. The part where she meets someone new in Tokyo and falls in love is incredible especially what happens from there. The meaning behind it reminds me of my first feature although I think his film is better. Between this and the complete version of
Visitors I saw on Screambox, I really can't wait to see what this director does next. The two films are quite different but both are amazing.
Visitors reminded me of
Evil Dead 2 in the best ways. Funny, gory, and a blast to watch while
Love Will Tear Us Apart surprised me on its phenomenal somber tone and emotional depth.
