NOTE FROM FILMMAKER
Who did it?
Who was killed in the first place?
These comments received after the film’s release indicate that this is not a “typical” suspense film.
Some people may think the story and the structure of the film are ridiculous. However, this is a film that I made with my own sense of reality – focusing on issues that have grown and surfaced since Trump administration, such as toxic masculinity and fake news.
I believe you will find your own darkness in the characters who live with a sense of stagnation in a rural Japanese city.
