Yeah, I loved Vital. It's great. My favorite Tsukamoto films are Tetsuo I, Gemini (really underrated), and Tokyo Fist.. Though I love everything he's done except for nightmare detective (and the goofy Hiruko the Goblin isn't that great but it's okay). I wish I could see Haze. That's the only film of his I haven't seen -- I've even seen his short films. Phantom of Regular size is crazy! Sorry to be longwinded. Vital rules. It's a bit different than what a person would probably expect, but the atmosphere is just amazing... for some reason, Tadanobou Asano keeps getting casted in these similiarly minded, brilliant films with these really lonely atmospheres... Bright future, Last Life in the Universe, Rampo Noir, and his story in Survive Style 5+ come to mind... he's great.
