So, 'Dry Flower' from 1986 is an interesting piece, really. Kazuhiro takes on dual roles here, both behind and in front of the camera, which gives it this unique personal touch. The pacing feels off-kilter at times, almost dreamlike, which I think works for its exploration of inner turmoil and isolation. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at points, capturing the weight of emotional struggle. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, turning raw emotions into visual experiences rather than relying on flashy gimmicks. Kazuhiro's performance brings a nuanced rawness that feels genuine, even if some moments might come off as a bit uneven. It’s a distinct offering that showcases a different side of 80s cinema, away from the mainstream glitz.
