Yap, "need more" its mean a lot. This film proved to be an incredibly vast and demanding experience, requiring a significant investment of time just to begin to appreciate it. It's not a film that reveals itself easily; understanding the complex emotions portrayed by the cast requires deep insight. More specifically, grasping the film's core seems to hinge on a nuanced understanding of contemporary Japanese psychology, making its central message and emotional threads challenging to fully untangle.

While I found it personally difficult to connect with the emotional execution, my respect for the actors is immense. It's clear that their performances were highly technical and precise, adhering to what felt like a "textbook" script or direction. In several key parts, it was evident that there was no room for improvisation, and their ability to deliver such controlled and demanding performances under those constraints is truly commendable.

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.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
