A weird, quiet, but interesting Japanese film

This movie is one of those weird, very quiet, but intriguing films. There isn't really a plot to begin with, there are just characters and they just go through the motions. It is interesting enough if you like these type of very dark, very quiet, slow, but intriguing films. Every character has their own thing going on, for example one guy gets beaten up a lot, one dude likes to have sex all the time, one girl likes to eat food and vomit it out, and another character is "normal."

I do like this film and it has some graphic sex in here.

Another good Japanese movie that most Westerners will probably not like, but if you are into Japanese anime, manga, ultra dark and disturbing Japanese stuff, this is a movie for you.

8/10
