wow . cynic who think that cinematic storytelling have reach a dead end should sit themselves down in front of the mind blowing and imaginative survive style 5 plus and a japanese crime comedy that despite some post tarantino story element actually have more in common with the inventive american comedy of the kaufman or gondry or jonze camp . initially the five parallel story line seem disparate and yet watch them ultimately intersect in inspired way be one of the film innumerable pleasure represent a husband try to repeatedly kill and bury his wife and but she keep return and even more indestructible while three young burglar break into house and get into trouble while a london hit man travel through japan with his interpreter or employer and continually ask people what function they serve in life while attend a hypnotist performance with his family and a salary man become permanently convince he actually a bird while and a driven advertising director have to reexamine her life after her increasingly hysterical idea for television commercial be reject . first time feature director gen sekiguchi actually be japan leading ( and award win ) director of commercial and and he bring a stunning visual style to the film as well a a completely boundless and anarchic approach to cinema possibility represent you never have any idea where survive style 5 plus be head from minute to minute and and the trip be a riotously funny a it be unpredictable . like most wholly original film and survive be a bit difficult to summarize and so just take my word for it and see it .
