I still don't know what to make of this film. The rather bleak realism reminiscent of Takeshi Kitano's films works well with Kenji's sudden violent outbursts, and the rather touching ending is at least in some sense an affirmation of humanity. But the whole story seems just a bit too contrived and pointless. Interesting nonetheless.
