45: One Cut Of The Dead (2017)
As we're roughly entering month two of the Covid-19 pandemic, at least by the standard of one of the early "hot spots" of the United States here in Southeast Michigan, times are at best as strange as any that we can collectively recall and at worst downright terrifying. As we all go through the cyclical nature of dealing with an enhanced level of stress, it's important to find hints of optimism in the world around us, whether it be a result of reexamining our lives and how we judge and categorize things (are we choosing to focus on the negative or showing gratitude for the positive?) or by turning to art to relay stories of better situations than the one's we believe to be in ourselves. Escapism.
To we here at Talk Horror, the ultra-low budget Japanese film One Cut of the Dead (2017) is a near perfect film for those who need a break to that escapism. The film follows earnest and delightful characters though a period of discord and confusion, into a period of reflection of what led up to that uncomfortable time, only to then rewitness that initial experience through an expanded lens in a celebration of what was achieved, rather than trapping our experience in what we once thought of as failure. It's a beautiful little encapsulation of the power of collaboration, or art, or life.
As you'll hear in the episode, Chzuck and I are unabashed fans of this one, and we hope perhaps more than usual that some people will discover this film and find a new favorite. It's a truly unique experience, and one that has left each of us with a new lens of perspective. We hope you can capture some of that experience yourself with this one, or at minimum find a respite from the angst long enough to relax a little bit.
Stay safe everyone! We love you!
