Kuso

About This Movie

Kuso is definitely one of those films that stays with you, but in a really surreal way. Directed by Flying Lotus, it’s not your typical animated piece. The atmosphere is bizarre and disjointed, perfectly reflecting the chaos after a massive earthquake in L.A. It gets pretty wild, jumping from one strange vignette to another, almost like a fever dream. The practical effects have this gritty, raw quality that adds to the overall unsettling vibe. The characters are out there, painted with a kind of dark humor that feels both absurd and poignant. It feels like a commentary on trauma and survival, woven through a tapestry of insanity and creativity that’s hard to describe but definitely leaves a mark.
