Very disturbing, a movie that uses the real and the surreal constantly, provoking discomfort and confusion, all in an interesting way, as well as the development of the main character who takes on the same confusing structure as the story. The movie could be more fluid if there weren't so many repetitions to justify certain conclusions, but other than that, it's definitely a unique and shocking movie.

Personal film fetishes checklist: :white_check_mark: Over the top in an unsettling way :white_check_mark: Unreliable narrator with identities blending into each other :white_check_mark: Surrealist mindfuck :black_square_button: Not sure if I got it right :white_check_mark: Bitter aftertaste :white_check_mark: Pitch-black humor :white_check_mark: Metaphorical scenes that don’t make much sense but linger in your mind for days (possibly with roses or petals) :white_check_mark: Trashy B-movie stuff becoming stylish :white_check_mark: Not-so-young dark lady :white_check_mark: Ass/Boobfest Final score: 9/10. Jokes aside, it’s definitely not a film for everyone, but I am sure it will satisfy a specific niche audience. I like how it deconstructs themes and perspectives we have already seen in western arthouse films with an over-the-top and playful attitude which is unique to Japanese independent cinema. Like it or hate it, I doubt you have ever watched a movie like this.
