You’re not supposed to understand it. You’re supposed to feel it. Our Hallucinations series is taking a trip into the Funky Forest, ya'll! Welcome to Funky Forest, where plot is optional, logic is irrelevant, and the only rule is: the weirder, the better. A cult favorite of Japan’s experimental film scene, Funky Forest is a sprawling, head-scratching sketch anthology that careens between deadpan comedy, body horror, cosmic nonsense, musical interludes, and pure dream logic. With dozens of characters—like the Guitar Brothers, a dancing colon, and a mysterious alien transmission—it’s a film that feels beamed in from another dimension. Part Monty Python, part Eraserhead, part pure chaos—it’s not a movie you watch so much as survive.
