Review of seaside MOTEL

Sometimes just movie emerges from nowhere. It may have all the features and benefits you're looking for in a good movie, solid, but obscure way that he always managed to slip by without triggering usual signs. It is like that with the edge of sea Motel, fortunately for me, that I always ran into it by surprise. A blow of eye on the poster was all I needed to reassure me that this would be my kind of film. And indeed it is.

Once positioned on a colorful set of time comedies have much to the Japan. Dominated by Katsuhito Ishii (Party 7, Taste of Tea) and Gen Sekiguchi (Survive Style 5 +), these film collected lot of critical acclaim but failed to land themselves an acceptable size audience. They disappeared so quickly that they experienced once again, only to be taken into full oblivion on rare occasions (who saw LoveDeath or Donju here?).

Moriya resumes where others the genre, but given the lack of buzz about this film is not going to do any type of tooth in the international arena. It is a shame, because there is much to say here. The premise is loosely borrowed from 7 part, but it goes its own way there. And while this movie is hardly original or mind blowingly spectacular, there are still lots of fun to be had if you are in good spirits.

At the heart of the story is the motel owner. Moriya follows the people located in the rooms, with several scenarios that cross each other, sometimes hijack again, sometimes together. Film features, a rather typical character set (boy and a prostitute, yakuza, old man with the girl) and some quirky item to keep while running storyline. You know the drill.

Moriya has a good eye for pleasing visuals. The camera work is refined, playful and well executed, the game pieces are detailed and film presents a palette of warm, cheerful colours. There is a pleasant atmosphere and light from each image, and even if the film introduces more dramatic moments the remains of the cheerful atmosphere anytime.

Music is poppy and hip, targeted steps to the true atmosphere but simply there as an extension of the feel of the film fun. It is not particularly good, but it works fairly well within the bounds of the movie. While I usually prefer a more adaptive soundtrack is much too much of a problem in this kind of comedy. It does not irritate and has fine enough.

The acting is good and proper. ASO is capable to shine once again (you may remember him Satoshi Miki instant NUMA), the rest of the cast met in some shows comic nice too. Of course, there is no impressive dramatic power play here, but the film is not exactly call to. The acting is more than sufficient in all cases.

Ensure that the film isn't in originality, it compensates for heat in style, and have fun together. There are some pretty funny characters and some nifty coincidences that will trigger a fair few smiles along the way. Fans of the genre should certainly feel at home among colourful performers and events portrayed here.

Seeing as how this film lacks any kind of international attention I know that not too many people actually wait another entry in the genre. If you do not like Party 7, Shark Skin Man or Style to survive 5 + there is little here could have fun so it is better to leave the film being. But if you liked these films is a bet sure that film will result in an amusing evening behind the screen.

It is certainly not the best entry in the genre, but it is a very welcome addition for those who want fresh meat. The Seaside Motel is perfect leaving you behind smiling, fill content with 100 minutes of escape of quality you've just experienced. Definitely recommended.
