Re-Wind, (Hiyasasu Sato, 1988)
As part of the same VHS Forever collection featured on the Criterion Channel this month I also watched Hisayasu Sato's 1998 film Re-Wind. Over the years I've heard of Sato films, but I never got around to watching one. OK, now I have, so I guess I don't have to watch another one. He's one of those guerilla film makers that I'm glad, on one level, who exist and are out pushing the boundaries of cinema and not making films for the Marvel Universe or the Hallmark Channel. At the same time, an hour of watching Re-Wind's sex and violence left me bored and disinterested. As I was watching it, I kept thinking that the emotionally stunted Lenny from Bleeder would have loved this movie.
