Storyline
Featured review
shows pretty well the genre.
a film noir; a Japanese film noir or neo noir; so expect a very nice photography; expressionism; play with shadows; psychologically affected characters; blur between good and evil; "squared dialogues", etc. The movie is very good in all those aspects but the plot is somewhat difficult to believe; most in Japan and in such small towns. Where s the Police some one would think?; so, in my opinion, that s not what the director is trying to show us; is more in the direction of the simplicity/complexity of the Human relationships. These ambivalent situations are found here and follow a nice slow simple pace from start to end. The dialogues or even the non dialogues between the murder and the victims are so Japanese, so stoic that are near funny, due the situation. I think is not for everyone but for some one that is interested in stage plays (theater) or in this specific genre, is a good choice. -A side note is that if you have a solid intermediate level of Japanese language, you can understand almost all what the characters are saying. Very clearly dialogues and with common phrases.
