Thoroughly twisted black comedy that is totally Japanese through and through. Parallels have been made between this and "Fight Club" which are fairly accurate, focusing on the alienation many find in modern society, but this one in my opinion definitely is funnier simply in the way things escalate into a completely over the top finale. If you're new the world of Japanese films and especially to Japan's particular brand of black comedy, this isn't the best way to start, It does take some familiarity to fully absorb the film, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it. But you will probably get lost a few times. An exceptionally well done black comedy like few others I have seen. |
