this movie suck in every way and thin plot and no character development and flimsy acting and pretentious theme and clumsy production and super low budget . nothing at all redemptive except maybe the hot girl and a decent beginning . it like a watch a mediocre student film that get way too much attention . this movie be generally so bad one do not know where to begin . if you watch the director or actor or producer interview on the dvd you will find out that they shoot it over 8 day on break while the director be make ju on and this make sense a they spend no time develop this movie and one have to wonder why they bother at all . it also become apparent through the lead actor ( shinya tsukamoto ) interview that director shimizu give his actor little to no direction which he politely ( and somewhat embarrassedly ) try to spin a a a good thing but reveals that he ( a a director himself ) wonder why there be so little thought and effort behind this project . this would explain his totally flat performance ( just because the protagonist be alienate doesn not mean you do not have to act ) . producer takahashi answer this mystery in his interview by reveal that this project be an experiment . read low budget throw away to make a quick buck on his indie brand label . this be all pretense and no follow through . i be sell my copy on ebay so look for it if you like j trash . what a bunch of rubbish . don not bother waste any time on this one .
