Kiyoshi Kurosawa's best work., 12 March 2007
9/10
Author: atheist2111 from Chicago, IL

I was fortunate enough to see this film at the Chicago International Film Festival last august. I am really fond of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's work (My favs are probably Doppelganger, Bright Future and Charisma). I did not know much about this film prior to seeing it other than it being the newest K. Kurosawa. I am not going to describe the film in that I wish not to ruin an aspect of it. What I will say is that I found it to be the best piece of work that K. Kurosawa has done to date. The film encompasses every area of cinema that K. Kurosawa has explored; from crime drama to j-horror. If you are fond of K. Kurosawa, you will absolutely enjoy this film and probably feel similar. Hope this was helpful, take care.
