Featured review
Flaws appear on a rewatch
The movie setting is definitely interesting, but the actors aren't of a calibre high enough to pull out the scenes, as a lot of the movies is just empty scenes and silent staring, for a lack of a better word.
Fukuyama probably has this habit of never touching his own face, even in moments of distress, which, in this movie is especially jarring. The movie would definitely benefit by having a director's recut shaving off those 30 minutes of empty staring time, as they don't, unfortunately, add anything to the movie. I'm not sure whether it's weak writing, or weak directing, otherwise unusual for him.
The best acting of all the main characters is to be had by Yakusho Kôji, best supporting role goes to Izumi Matsuoka.
