Human filmmaking in the best sense — characters behave like people, not plot functions. The director's voice is recognizable from the first minutes.
The acting carries the entire film — without it, this would be hollow. But it's there, and it's real. The ending offers no easy answers, which is right.
Works for fans of arthouse and psychological stories. Looking for spectacle — look elsewhere.
Director: Kazuya Shiraishi
