Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III (Series currently available on Netflix streaming service)-
Well, that took a left turn into where.
Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III (2014) is the last movie released in a series, based on a manga entitled Berserk. I first began watching these because I had heard that they were a source of inspiration to the Dark Souls series of video games, so I was curious. Oddly enough, I am not really a fan of those games per se, but I am a fan of their fiction and aesthetics.
Now, as for my rating of this movie. Currently my main problem with it, is that there are some pacing/editing issues. I would have rated it lower, if it wasn't for its transcendental nature near the midpoint. Outside of Enter the Void, this is the only movie I have seen that has made me feel like I was experiencing death and the afterlife, and the amount of care and effort put into this movie's imagery for it is impressive.
Be forewarned however, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III depicts a brutal rape scene, and I suspect that fans of the manga series will not like it. Additionally, if you were to start at the beginning of the series, you will find that this last one takes a sharp left turn tonally, but for me this made all the difference. Honestly, I'm not quite sure who I would recommend this movie to, outside people who found Enter the Void to be compelling, so there you have it.
