The five interconnected stories involve
a businessman and his family, a stage hypnotist, a murderer with a wife who
won't stay dead, a young gang of useless burglars and a hopeless advertising
executive, whose lives are all touched by a knife-throwing hitman played by
Vinnie Jones.
Like dreams, the stories have their own logic and are best enjoyed for what
they are, which in this case is weird and humorous.
Even if you lose the plot, it doesn't matter because the visuals are a delight
in themselves, with vibrant colours reminiscent of Baz Luhrman's Moulin
Rouge and the subtler ones of Wong Kar-Wai's 2046,
and the sets are filled with details that definitely invite a second viewing
to fully absorb.
This movie will appeal to a very particular taste – I can imagine Jonathan
Ross enjoying it, especially as it also features Sonny
Chiba. If you like wild Japanese films, you won't find better than
this.
If you thought there were clever cuts in
PULP FICTION and MEMENTO, forget it. SS5 offers something fresh, funny, ultra-violent,
sexy and completely riveting – this is what film was made for, cool,
funny, meticulously designed and with an impeccable soundtrack.
