UNITARY

Very similar to Serpent’s Path (they were made as diptych after all). I really like the green landscapes shown, it was present a little in Sperent’s Path but its more present here. I don’t really think I’ve seen parts of Japan that look like this, which is odd considering how obsessed people are with Japan online. The cinematography is great, especially the camera movements. Its quite noticeable when the camera moves, the movie wants you to know its moving, but it still feels very restrained.

The almost-random horror sequence was also great.

Some of the soundtrack is like actually just vaporwave. I’m not just saying that because it uses synths, it like actually sounds like vaporwave. Which is very cool considering this movie released in 1998.
