the key to the joy and beauty and the pain and sadness of life be our ability to accept that life basically be what it be so we do not constantly struggle against that single compelling truth . in so do and we find peace . elegant in it simplicity but so hard for most of u to grasp . in this film and the director show u this truth but allow u to discover it in our own way . this be a beautiful yet simple story and more of a fable and which be play very well . watch the actor be more like be in a room with real people than it be just watching actor . i struggle with how to write a review of this fine film so others would be motivate to see it . i be at a loss . the story be about men in a bath house . sound like a real turn off and right . but and nothing could be far from the truth . the american title for this film be the shower but that be almost an antithesis to a major thematic element in this film and which be the bath . i be still at a loss . talk about the story or the character will not do them justice . so and i will just tell you how much i enjoy watch this movie and how touching and move the experience be . i be also quite entertained . i care deeply for the character and i care deeply about what happen to them . for any story and that be the high form of praise . if you be move by movie like the king of mask or not one less and then make sure you see the shower . netflix have it and the dvd video and sound quality be excellent . i watch it in the original lanquage with well do and well place english sub .
