About This Movie

So, IKUSA is this interesting dive into the life of Issa, an adult video store clerk who's really hit rock bottom. You feel for him – losing his job and girlfriend really sets a tone of despair. But then, the film takes a quirky turn with his curry package squeezing tool invention gaining traction. It’s not your typical rags-to-riches story; there's this underlying theme of unexpected redemption. The pacing feels a bit off in parts, but it adds to this odd charm. The performances are raw and real, which makes it feel relatable. You can see the practical effects at play, especially during those curry scenes, which are both humorous and oddly satisfying. Also, the atmosphere strikes a nice balance of dreariness mixed with bizarre hopefulness. It's definitely a unique watch.
