Its Hitchcockian theme of suspicion and obsession and its moebius strip structure give way to lush, dreamy atmosphere. With soft black & white cinematography reminiscent of old newspaper clippings, Gakyuru Ishii's period piece, Labyrinth of Dreams, is a seductive, hypnotic experience. #GakyuruIshii #japanesecinema #90s #TadanobuAsano

Mixing New Age spirituality, animism, astrophysics and advancement in technology, Gakuryu Ishii's trippy 90's relic, August in the Water can be seen as the quintessential film for vaporwave - the synth tinged soundtrack, dolphins, rainbows, dated computer graphics, aliens, etc. #vaporwave #gakyuruishii #japanesecinema #90s
