Sky

About This Movie

So, Sky is an early Noboru Iguchi flick, and it's interesting because it captures that raw, experimental vibe that marked his formative work. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it’s part of its charm, creating this odd, dreamlike atmosphere that lingers. You can see hints of his trademark surrealism and body horror, even if it’s not as polished as his later films. The practical effects have that gritty quality—definitely not your standard fare. Performances are a mixed bag, but they add to the overall bizarre tone. It’s distinct in the way it feels like a stepping stone for what would come later in his career.

Sky has seen limited releases, mostly in niche circles, which makes it fairly uncommon among collectors. The film's obscure status and connection to Iguchi’s evolving style intrigue many, though it sometimes flies under the radar. This scarcity adds to its appeal, and some collectors appreciate having this piece of his early work, particularly for its experimental nature and the raw essence that characterizes much of his later films.
