I think Golden Slumber might actually be some sort of masterpiece.
Making a good movie in any genre is tough enough, but some filmmakers risk blending more than one. It oftentimes makes for a mess, and audiences saying "oh, I wish they just stuck to making this a thriller," but when it actually works, like with the Coen Brothers or Roman Polanski or David Cronenberg, it really pays off. Yoshihiro Nakamura's Golden Slumber is one of these cases.
It is a paranoid thriller, a broad comedy and a nostalgic look back at young adulthood.
When a man is caught in a web of international intrigue (he is set up as a patsy for the assassination of the Japanese prime minister) he turns to old friends for help. That's the logline, anyway, but that sure as hell ain't the movie. It so strangely touching, and you'll never think of the Beatles song the same way again.
I did a typical post-screening InstaReview of Golden Slumber and found that I rambled for over ten minutes. I deleted that one and went with this one, much more quiet and intimate and in league with the feelings of the film (which I give a solid A-, with the thinking that if I see it again and like it as much it may bump to an A.)
