Director Sion Sono

Release Date 4 June 2005

What is everyone in the film thinking? There’s narration by the characters and the subtitles. Yes, alright; but why is everyone below twenty-five thinking like failed poets. I guess because they are. Or it could be the web-site?

I’m clueless with a theory of my own. It has deviant, permanent, hair-pulling consequences so I’ll repress it to watch another one from director Sion Sono Cold Fish, 2010. Then I’ll wait and see if I still like people.

That’s alright. I think I’m going to watch a lighter film today, like perhaps, High Tension, 2003.

Hmmm, yes.
