Japanese Summer: Double Suicide

The film constructs its bleak universe by relying on the kinetic energy of three anti-heroes, whose collision course is set by a shared sense of nihilism. It explores the dark corners of the psyche where sex, death, and violence intertwine into a single destructive impulse.

What lingers after viewing is a raw, cinematically brazen descent into the void, leaving behind the sticky residue of summer heat and oppressive claustrophobia. — MovieFinder Editorial
