🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a powerful indictment of media sensationalism and social neglect, relying on a stark documentary approach to explore the environment that shaped a killer. It humanizes without absolving, presenting crime as a societal symptom.

What lingers after viewing is a profound unease about the systems that create and then commodify tragedy. A challenging, essential work. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Masao Adachi
