About This Movie

CHI is an intriguing piece, really. Shot on 16mm, it has this grainy texture that just pulls you in. The pacing is almost hypnotic, with scenes that linger and let you soak in the atmosphere, making it feel meditative and introspective. There’s a sense of experimentation throughout, with visuals that challenge traditional narrative forms. Go Takamine’s approach here is quite distinctive, emphasizing practical effects in ways that feel tactile, almost refreshing in a world of digital overuse. It’s not about grand performances but rather a subtle orchestration of visual poetry that leaves you thinking long after it’s over.

CHI is relatively scarce, considering its experimental nature. The film’s 16mm format adds a unique appeal, making it a curious artifact for collectors. While not widely released, it has garnered interest among enthusiasts who appreciate avant-garde cinema. Its rarity and distinctive style could make it a worthwhile find for those looking to diversify their collection with something unconventional.
