...not too sleazy, not too morbid, not too sexy, not too pinky; not bad but not good enough

A mentally unstable couple escaping from the reality in which they find. A film that looks like a psychedelic road movie from the Sixties but without a car... The girl is his aunt and tried to seduce him from the beginning but he always refuses; his submissive conduct stop when at some point he has sex with her (turned out that she was virgin) and both start to like it in their own primitive way. At times they blow up in a primal way to return to an insignificant calm that not lead to anything. It reflects a type of people who believe that have more rights than obligations, living in an underworld of chaos without to try to adapt or to fit in a minimum to any society. She wandering around and in her mind she wants to running away from that country. He knows that he has little chance but does not want to die; however, in the end it is clear that there is no much path ahead.

-I did not liked the camera work, but these type of budget films always have these nervous camera moves, etc. Color palette is good and goes well with the scenes.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.
