Kisaragi

About This Movie

Kisaragi is an interesting blend of comedy and mystery, with a unique premise that really sets it apart. You’ve got this group of fans coming together to commemorate a deceased idol, which gives it that odd, almost melancholic vibe. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it serves to build tension as they dig deeper into the circumstances of her death. There's a great sense of camaraderie among the characters, and the performances bring out the quirks and obsessions that often accompany fandom. The practical effects are minimal but effective, adding a layer of realism to the rather absurd situations they find themselves in. It’s a film that pokes at the nature of idol culture while keeping a light-hearted tone, which is a tricky balance to strike.

Interesting take on idol culture and fandom.Balances comedy with darker themes of grief and mystery.Offers a quirky ensemble cast that enhances the story.
