The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl

It will leave some people scratching their heads, understandably...but this is pure inventiveness and creativity.

A highly original work by an artist who follows his own vision - wherever it leads.

By the final act in this film, the randomness coalesces into something philosophical

It features lots of walking and talking and drinking, and occasional screechy rock interludes. Like a Richard Linklater movie, in other words. Only less fun.

It is romantic and hallucinogenic, with an edge of softcore erotic sleaze.

A vivid, batty, whirlwind of a film in Masaaki Yuasa's wildly imaginative style...

the general style, both in terms of pace, dialogue and visuals is somewhat difficult to follow, and demands the viewer's full attention in order to appreciate it fully, not to mention a knack of absorbing the chaos.

It's a bit much and an overload of the senses at times, but the feelings always come across as honest and I couldn't help myself rooting for the main characters.

It might've sufficed as a short film.

what really makes this film such an interesting piece of art is the animation style itself. Indeed, Masaaki Yuasa borrows from his previous work and really unapologetically allows himself to go in all the directions possible.
