Very dark but very engaging

A warning: The entire movie is very dark and a bit depressing at times. Still, it was easy to get drawn in. Can't say I liked any of the characters of which there's really only four. I found myself wanting to know more and more as the story unfolds. They give you more of the story, a little at a time. I can't explain the story or I'd be giving things away.

This is a pink film which means multiple sex scenes and here most sex scenes are gay between two men. Of course not all that explicit. Even if the gay themed doesn't interest you, the story will.

Director Hisayasu Satô has his stamp on this movie. This is his first gay themed pink film. Not necessarily his best but still very good. The cast is excellent.

Once you know the entire story, you probably won't watch this movie a second time. But it's definitely worth a first watch. Check it out.
