Memories 1995
I'm quite astonished by myself, I had never had the opportunity to see this anthology film before (which is rare for me because I like this kind of films) and I didn't do it because I thought it would be one of those typical bland science fiction action films without being special or unique that were made in Japan during the '90s and I imagined that I would never like it, so I avoided it but these weeks of much…

I loved this film for the first time and I think it deserves to have a review written by me so that I can contribute my little grain of sand. Its a love at…
