Of all Miike's flicks this one ought to be among the most weirdest, psychological ones out that has yet been released. I guess the main topic would be: what are we supposed to feel. And that's what Miike succeeds to evoke in us, the viewers. I really find myself having a hard time to find words to describe what I've just seen and experienced. Violence, gore, necrophilia, kinky and much more are featured here and the viewer should take caution about the level of disturbance that's being exposed here.
Whilst feeling terribly lost, I still find this film somehow to be beautiful in a disturbed way. Miike's a master when it comes down to depict violence without ever losing it on screen, thus creating this atmosphere which is so rich of contrasts between disturbance and beauty. If I were you and I hadn't seen this one, I'd skip reading the plot and just head over and put that disc into the DVD player as soon as possible to tune in. This is, if anyone is, a flick to be experienced first - before investigating it further in Net zines.
7/10: I got to see this one again.
