Amnesia as anesthesia This very unusual film deserves attention primarily because of its luxuriously extravagant visual range. The director and the cameraman tried their best, turning the picture into a real feast for the eyes, the visual feast reaches its climax in the second half of the film, when the riot of colors and animations are combined with the exotic theatrical performance played out. Actually, the film is an unexpected mix of various genres: eccentric comedy, family cinema, sentimental melodrama, animation, fantasy with elements of thrash. Acting with unnaturally exaggerated emotions, frequent screams about and without, can be attributed to the significant shortcomings of the film, which can push some viewers away from viewing.
The action takes place in a hospital, apparently psychiatric, where many odd characters live: a yakuza, a transvestite, a former actor, a strange nurse. The main characters are an elderly man Onuku, a former wealthy businessman and president of a large corporation, distinguished by his heavy character, vindictiveness and unmotivated irritability and his complete opposite is a cheerful and carefree girl Paco, who lost her memory after an injury. Amnesia became a gift of fate for her, being unable to remember anything more than a day, she happily meets every day, reading the same book.
In general, it turned out a surreal tale-parable not only for children, but also for adults. Starting a new day as if with a clean slate, giving free rein to imagination, looking at the world through the eyes of a child - this is the recipe for happiness from the Japanese director.
