With having picked up The Last Frankenstein (that I should be watching soon) over X-Mas,I looked for another Japanese Horror to match it up with for a best of 1991 movies poll on ICM. Digging into the outer reaches, HumanoidOfFlesh's comment led to me deciding to find out what neigh really means.
View on the film:
Made on how low can you go film stock, (they even keep the countdown clippings between reels) the cheapness actually adds to director Hisayasu Satô's Pinku,via the graininess heightening the surrealist Horror nightmare atmosphere,panning across a beach with mannequin dolls laying around over the Industrial hum from composer "Wave." Taking inspiration from the Punk film No Wave movement,Satô makes only the outline to the cast be visible, which gives the sex scenes a disembodied appearance. Thankfully showing some restrain on the sleaze, (no intercourse between humans and horses!) the screenplay by Shirô Yumeno wonderfully piles on the weirdness between the arty and the bonkers,becoming very vivid in an extended discussion over loneliness, telepathy and horse poo, as they each try to find the meaning of neigh.
