Lucky Lodestone

About This Movie

So, here’s an interesting gem from 1999, 'Lucky Lodestone.' It weaves together a couple of storylines, one about Kenichi, who’s out for revenge against a lover who wronged him, and the other with Yuka, trying to reach out to her mother after her father’s death. Their paths cross, and while it’s a bit of a slow burn, the atmosphere really draws you in. The pacing is deliberate, but there’s something about the blend of emotions—revenge and love—that keeps it engaging. The performances have this raw quality to them, which adds a layer of authenticity. Not much is known about the director or the genres, but the film has a unique vibe that feels distinctively 90s in its approach to storytelling.

Finding a copy of 'Lucky Lodestone' can be quite the challenge, as it hasn't seen a wide release on home media. Most collectors are aware of its obscure status, which only adds to its intrigue. The film hasn’t been extensively documented in collector circles, so it remains somewhat of a mystery, often sparking discussions among those who have stumbled upon it. If you happen across a VHS or an early DVD release, consider yourself lucky, as interest in this film seems to be growing steadily among niche collectors.
