movie: battle royale (with cheese)

Lived up to my expectations.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but one of the greatest examples of the genus "real film wearing the skin of a genre movie" I've seen in quite a while.

This is the movie Quentin Tarantino wishes he could make but lacks the depth to pull off...which explains why he cast BR's Girl #13 as Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill.

Earns my highest rating.
Lovers of exploitation, Japanese weirdness and art films who don't mind buckets of arterial spray will be pleased.
