I recently bought the dvd of Toyoda Shiro's Portrait of Hell. I have read about this film for years and came across a copy at Half Price Books. I was fairly excited to find it and quickly read the back of the box. The film was written by Akutagawa Ryunoskuke. Please excuse my ignorance but I am not quite sure the correct way to present Japanese names in English. There is the warning at the bottom of the box.
"Warning: Contains Violence, Philosophy"
I am unsure of how to continue after this warning. Skip the violence part but, Warning:Philosophy!
Okay I recognize that philosophy may not be for everyone and many people try to ignore the subject/genre/art completely but a warning about philosophy on a dvd box. This leaves me dumbfounded. Since I do not have anything to say....then perhaps it is time for me to say no more.
