Pompo The Cinephile Review. The Cinéphile is like Vincente Minnellis The Bad and the Beautiful but anime. A manic anime about the cost of artistic creation that whittles the wounded beauty of Hayao Miyazakis The Wind Rises down to 90 minutes of feel-good.
Pompo the Cinephile is a unique film much owed to its unashamed usage of anime to tell a tale of live-action filmmaking. Pompo the Cinephile tends to follow the same path those aforementioned movies do. With Tom Bromhead Kenneth Cavett Brianna Gentilella Konomi Kohara.
My friend and I went to see Pompo.
Even at a brisk 90 minutes Pompo the Cinephile manages to feel a little padded. Pompo the Cinephile is a tight 90 minute package that builds upon its straightforward story with a ton of aesthetic flair. Whenever GKIDS has a special screening he buys the tickets and I buy the beer the theater has beer on tap. Every single frame is packed with vibrant colors and flavors with snappy transitions between.
