Good Timing from '62, a Pink film by Satoru Kobayashi, really encapsulates that raw, unfiltered vibe of its era. The pacing feels leisurely, almost like it’s inviting you to soak in the atmosphere rather than rushing through the plot. The performances are quite striking, conveying a sense of genuine emotion amidst the provocative themes. It has this interesting blend of practical effects that provide a certain authenticity, which adds to its distinct character. The overall tone is both playful and a bit subversive, reflecting the cultural shifts of the time. Definitely a film that captures a very specific moment in cinematic history, with a flavor that’s hard to replicate.

Good Timing has had a bit of an odd release history, often overshadowed by other titles in the genre. It can be a challenge to find quality prints, which makes it a point of interest among collectors. Its rarity definitely adds to its allure, especially for those with a keen interest in the Pink film movement. Enthusiasts often appreciate the layered themes and the way it reflects the evolving film landscape of the early '60s.
