Funky Forest: The First Contact

This frenetically-paced Katsuhito Ishii film interlaces various story-lines as a vehicle to present short comedy skits and musical dance numbers for the sake of completely nonsensical-yet-charming entertainment. Region 1, NTSC, anamorphic widescreen, 2 discs. Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 audio with English subtitles. Features include “Into The World Of The Unfathomable Forest” featurette, “Katsuichi’s Dance” Secret Treasure Choreography Lesson, “The Transfer Student Is Here!”, and trailers.
