Toshio Matsumoto - Everything Visible is Empty (1975)

There’s a newly (fan)subtitled copy of ULTRA Q THE MOVIE: LEGEND OF THE STARS floating around online now. Having recently watched it myself, I can say that this film is a treat for scifi/fantasy and tokusatsu fans. No, it’s not a big monster romp, but its an engrossing and uncanny mystery tale with maximum Twilight Zone vibes and Akio Jissoji’s intensely distinct visual flair. If you like Gamera 3′s mysticism or Shin Godzilla’s striking filmography, you owe it to yourself to seek out Ultra Q The Movie.

Pretending there’s something there when there isn’t… it’s petty. I don’t like that. Pretending there’s nothing there, when there is something… that’s called ‘style’.

Can movement tell a story? Sure, if you’re as gifted as Akira Kurosawa. More than any other filmmaker, he had an innate understanding of movement and how to capture it onscreen. Join me today in studying the master, possibly the greatest composer of motion in film history.
