Comment:
This film features two big names from the Japanese samurai genre, Mifune and Nakadai, but it was not directed by Kurosawa, but by a less known, and in my view a tad inferior, director Okamoto. As a result the slashing and body count are excessive, and character development is confusing. So it is just an OK watch for me.This film features two big names from the Japanese samurai genre, Mifune and Nakadai, but it was not directed by Kurosawa, but by a less known, and in my view a tad inferior, director Okamoto.

Comment:
Despite its age the underwater camera work in this film is still great to watch. The film reminds me of Close Encounter of The Third Kind, so there is a sci-fi element to it. The melodrame at the end of film is out of place, in my view. Without it the film could have been a much better thriller.Despite its age the underwater camera work in this film is still great to watch.

Comment:
This is a watchable film by Goddard. However, in my view it was way over-rated then and now. The image of the constantly chain-smoking lead actor put me off a bit. Goddard has done better works (such as Weekend). And he is still one of my memorable directors from his era.This is a watchable film by Goddard.

This is one of the earlier films by director Nicholas Roeg, and in my view his best work. The story is simple to follow, the visuals are stunningly beautiful. Shot in the Australian outback, the film contrasts the modern and the primitive, and you are left to draw your own conclusion which is better - if indeed a comparison is needed. Highly recommended for a visual and cerebral treat.This is one of the earlier films by director Nicholas Roeg, and in my view his best work.
