Princess Raccoon Review
Posted by Todd Brown at 7:59pm.
Posted in Film & DVD Reviews , Musical, Asia.
If things work out as appears likely and octogenarian director Seijun Suzuki’s failing health means that Princess Raccoon is his final work then give this to the man: he is going out on top of his game. Though he has not tread this particular ground before Princess Raccoon is quintessentailly a Suzuki picture. From the opening frames right through to the end there is simply nobody else on this planet who could possibly lay claim to this particular brand of lunatic genius. It is perplexing, wildly self indulgent, breathtakingly beautiful, and home to so many strange twists of logic and “What the hell?” moments that you are left breathless just trying to keep up. To the uninitiated it may very well prove to be nothing more than infuriating but history will very likely place this in the absolute top tier of Suzuki’s work, right along side Branded To Kill.
