No amount of exquisite ambience and innovative visual techniques can alleviate a disappointingly mundane commentary on love and discrimination. Director Kousuke Tsurumi is solely dependant on absurd melodrama and the vulnerable minds of a socially challenged audience, in an attempt to be symbolic and intelligent. Instead, the clumsy dialogue is something one would expect to hear from a drunken lunatic. Tsurumi’s firm grasp of lighting, colours and lens work is highly evident but even Battle Royale’s Tatsuya Fujiwara cannot save the mess that is Moonlight Jellyfish.

Sounds like a masterpiece.
I'm downloading it as we speak. Expect an update in my sig during next week.
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".
