Directed by Katsuhito Ishii. Starring Tadanobu Asano, Ittoku Kishibe, Sie Kohinata, and Kimie Shingyôji.
I... do not get this. This is one of those movies that makes me feel dumb because while I can sort of track the overall plot, I can't follow most of what's happening moment to moment. I couldn't find the tone of the movie either - it had moments that seemed extremely dark and noirish and others that seemed almost cartoonishly goofy. I tried looking up some reviews and other info on the movie in the hope that I could get a better grip on it, but so far no luck.
1.5 stars.
