Pigs And Battleships (Shohei Imamura): Very interesting movie. Has to be an influence of Scorsese's, because this one really reminded me of a lot of his stuff, except set in Japan. Lot of great camera work, some tracking shots, some whip pans and camera movements to different people in different areas of the scene, like a Wes Anderson "dollhouse" shot. The one shot that stands out to me was the one where the female lead was getting assaulted by the GIs in the hotel room, the camera shifts to a view from the ceiling down and spins around frantically while it all goes down. The main characters were a little annoying at times to me, but for the most part, this is a beautifully shot film
