Dodes 'Ka-den III

Okay, so the film settled down quite a bit, giving itself over to a morose yet detailed set of character studies of life at the fringe. Less Tati as time goes on, and more like a sympathetic harbinger for Altman's take on Raymond Carver, Short Cuts. It's pretty grim, and again, color is used in it like an assault weapon, but the individual stories grew on me over time, and for the most part, I was pretty invested in each person's delusional grab for happiness, even if it was nowhere to be found. I guess that's the '70s for you. Good work, sir!
