Over a year ago, I’ve written about Casshern. Without me even knowing, my brother has bought the DVD – and didn’t tell me about.

And now?

Wow. This thing just gave “visually stunning” a completely new meaning. “Bullet Time”? Foggetaboutit. Here, time gets scratched as if on turntables. Colourful, Tim Burton style? Old hat. This one mixes over-saturated scenes with gritty black-and-white ones.

Don’t even try to follow the different layers of reality. It’s utterly impossible. There isn’t much text. Characters don’t try to comment or explain what’s happening. There simply isn’t as much talk as there is in western movies – and I very much enjoy that.

Gorgeous. Need to see it again.
