VIFF Review: 'The Town Of Headcounts' is a bleak, brutal comment on control - Awesome Friday!
Shinji Araki's The Town Of Headcounts uses Orwell's template in a fresh way to paint a metaphor of life in Japan that is as relevant a statement on Japanese culture as Bong Joon-ho's Parasite was to Korean. The end result is a brutal, shocking parable that will stick in your mind long after the credits have rolled.
