Pretty nice thriller without much cliché

The story is about the daughter of a murderer and the daughter of the murdered house coping with this horrible past. I thought this story was great because it kept me guessing. The movie might be slow but I didn't fall asleep. There isn't much cliché in the story which is good. The title Shinku, which means Crimson, has a deep meaning, I suppose. The color in the movie was carefully picked out. I suppose it's got some sort of hidden message. The ending was uncalled for. I was totally unprepared for that scene and I thought it was the a brilliant finale. I recommend this movie and I give it an 7 out of 10. I like it when people are working hard and make the plots as flawless as possible. I can't say the actresses are the best in the world, but that part made it seem even more sincere. Horray!

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.
