"Enjo" has a very intriguing premise: a young boy burns down a temple and via flashbacks we see what forced the young man to commit this horrendous act. I was sure that I was going to end up loving this movie, but the film really deteriorates as the story progresses. I admired the performances, and Ichikawa knows how to shoot a scene (the cinematography is breathtaking!), but the narrative feels like a half-cooked meal, with too many ideas thrown into the pot. The film is unfocused, rushing from one scene to the next; it is like a train on a collision course. The film builds up to something, but that something is never fully explored, and one is left with feelings of frustration and apathy. This is one of those films that did not live up to my high expectations.
