Plot
A man, who is having an affair with a young woman, gets home late as usual. But that night, he finds something wrong with his wife Satomi. Since then, he gets strayed into her dark side, the "labyrinth".
Cast
Minimal, competent, but unfamiliar
Verdict
This aggressively titled short horror is a confusing Japanese piece, but then again their works notoriously are.
It tells the story of a man cheating on his wife, but she has revenge on her mind and not in the traditional sense.
A bizarre surrealist tale that enters the realms of the supernatural it's again a very confusing 14 minutes and certainly a short that you need not ask any questions of and simply accept everything you're seeing.
Weird, a smidge unsettling and making little to no sense its visually fairly impressive but lacks substance of any sort.
Breakdown + Looks good
Rants
How exactly does a dude get kneed in the balls that many times and survive? Seriously it must be a good dozen to fifteen times back to back here. I get hit in the balls once and it feels like my soul is leaving my body, that many times!? How? I feel like I'd be spitting my balls out of my mouth Hotshots: Part Deux (1993) style and embracing death as a sweet relief. Girls when we say getting hit in the balls hurts, believe us.....

A story of revenge in clothes of horror. A Don Juan, his wife, his girlfriend. And the Japanese tradition of dark films. All precise and fascinating , scene by scene, detail by detail.
