Hisashi Eguchi's It Will All Work Out!

About This Movie

So, 'It Will All Work Out!' is quite the eclectic piece. Directed by Toshio Hirata, this 1990 film melds animation, live action, and puppetry in a series of skits that touch on love, sex, and death—pretty bold choices. The pacing jumps around, almost like a chaotic dream, which fits the offbeat humor perfectly. The animation style has that distinct late '80s to early '90s feel, which I find charming. The practical effects in the segments give it a raw edge, and you can really see the personality of Hisashi Eguchi's manga come through. It's one of those films that doesn’t follow a conventional narrative, but that’s what makes it distinctive and interesting to discuss among collectors.
