Michael Moore once complained that the Japanese are an insular, complicated people. There is a measure of truth in that. But perhaps, as a North American, he is accustomed to loudmouth extroverts who broadcast their every half-cocked thought louder as their audience becomes smaller.
Not so with the Japanese. The social sphere is internalized to a greater extent, without compromising a culture of communication.
How? Bizita Q, for one. The arts have long been an arena of radical deviation from the institutionalized conformity in JPN culture, manga comics and film especially. If nothing else, the artistic license given to filmmakers in Japan makes for emotionally stimulating material that doesn't flinch where most national cinemas do.
As for the film itself, I found it eminently satisfying. I have a taste for the subversive and the fantastic. Which is essentially what this film is, a fantasy. Ever been bullied? What was the most horrible thing you wished would happen to that bully after the fact? Methinks it might resemble something in this film. Japanese schools are notorious for peer abuse, I wouldn't be surprised if the creative staff of this film were acting out imagined scenarios from the safe distance of make believe.
