I wasn't really sure what to expect when seeing this gem on Netflix and reading the synopsis. Is it a thriller? The plot sounded interesting.
It's a slow-paced, pretty dark movie about a quiet, depressed guy who has basically lost everything because of past alleged crimes and tries to work himself out of his grim life. When his childhood friend Misaki appears, a hopeful chapter seems to start off.
This is all packed into the setting of a small village where he works at an ecological recycling plant. Things start to get better. But do they really?
This is a stunning film. It's a highly involving, slow drama that you will not forget easily. The main actor Ryusei Yokohama is fantastic in this role. Cinematography, music, the setting, the actors are all great.
I don't understand the low rating here - maybe people were put off because it wasn't an action thriller film that they thought it is? If you're interested in great, dark dramas, definitely watch this one, highly recommended.
