I found this film poorly edited, mixed and lacking any depth whatsoever. If the intention of the director to leave the audience in complete confusion after this film, he did.

I really have no idea why he made this movie, since the repeating of scenes with and without complete or partial sound, the surrounds mixed in louder, then the actual conversation, didn't help me understand it.

Nobuhiro Suwa is part of the current so called Japanese new wave; he is something of a new kid on the block with only two other films under his belt preceding this film. Pretty bloody good, is a good way to describe this film. The director, Suwa, plays a director making a remake of Alain Resnais' "Hiroshima mon amore", a seminal film of the French new wave. As with the original film, this film deals with memory, non-memory and contemporary life as people try to express the inexpressible. Recommended, but not if you want to be spoon fed.
