Mweh.. this is typically a movie written and directed by a man (don't worry, I'm not a raging feminist), so annoying. It totally missed it's goal. It's about the woman, taking control of her sexuality, or that's the intention I think, but how she's coaxed into doing this is utter... read more
Shot through a tinted lens, this is a beautiful film visually but unfortunately its let down by a fairly creepy and non-sexy story line. Style over content but still worth watching, it just could have been a lot better considering Tsukamoto is one of the most exciting directors a... read more
Another creepy and unsettling Japanese drama from director Tsukamoto (Jijii from Ichi The Killer) who's brought such wonderful family classics such as Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Shot in black and white then washed in blue, the film is absolutely soaked in water--constant rain, sinks... read more
I'm guessing if you sent David Lynch to Japan to remake Saw this is what you'd get. Stylish, puzzling and pretty fucked up. I hated the better part of the first hour and nearly cursed this movie's existence. That metal dick thing was... I'm sure explainable only in Japanese. The ... read more
Unique and captivatingly photographed, but turns out to be a complete waste of time, even at only 77 minutes.
There are some great moments, and the first half hour isn't too objectionable. It even has some really good performances to its credit. Unfortunately, Shinya Tsukamoto s... read more

strange..almost david lynchian...excels on atmosphere and weirdness...will hold your interest..
It's great to see Tsukamoto mature as a filmmaker without ever becoming mainstream (what most critic's think as "maturing"). Bizarre, erotic and stylish with great performances from every cast member.
Shot in "metallic" shade of B&W, this is certainly a very stylish movie. The director uses bizarre and sometimes hallucinatory visuals to create intensity and it works quite well. Unfortunately a rather mundane story doesn't justify the way it was conveyed, so in the end it felt ... read more
Tsukamoto tries his hand at noir in this disturbing yet beautiful film of a repressed woman having her darkest desires tapped by an admiring stalker.
...an unforgettably excruciating experience. Full Review
Any notion of Snake commenting on sexual repression in Japan is lost amid the nonsense. Full Review
... an intriguing and ultimately inscrutable enigma ... drip(s) with a bizarre eroticism ... Full Review
Tsukamoto has matured since his Tetsuo days and proves more subtly disquieting than younger countryman Takashi Miike Full Review
