It's moderately fun but its clear that the only reason it was shot as a found footage film is because it was the easiest way considering the cramped locations. When shooting found footage you kind of have to play by the rules and this film throws out all of those rules almost immediately and having that happen throughout most of the film is distracting to say the least. On the plus side, there's some cool scenes (even if they don't work for found footage) and its entertaining enough throughout. The pacing is pretty rough too as it really just feels like just non-stop shit happening.

There's some really fun and wacky bits but I feel like I should have liked this more. Seems to be a trend with me and Oshima's work. Bonus points for that amazing song in it though.

Everything I expected from a Demy film at this point. In other words its really really good.

I know people rag on the found footage genre all the time but I still genuinely think there's a lot of interesting things that can be done with it. Now, saying this was an interesting film might be a bit of a stretch but it did have a lot of positive aspects. I thought the presentation was good and its fairly well paced and the filler never feels like filler which is pretty often the case with these. While I don't think it was effective as a horror movie I do commend the restraint shown to not throw in any fake scares or even a single jump scare. This actually felt like someone tried instead of just being shit out by a studio.

Directed by: Federico Fellini
The whole film is really solid but there's also more than a handful of absolute masterclass scenes, in particular the variety show scene might be one of my all time favourites. Fellini is quite possibly the best ever.
