Long film cérébral qui fait exploser en plein vol les tabous d’inceste et de meurtre dans un Japon quasi-post-apocalyptique (visualisé dans des zones instables : zone tremblement de terre, hôpital d’urgence, mer couverte de blocs de glace, appartements chaotiques…). Personnages implacablement malmenés par les éléments, victimes consentantes des événements au-delà de toute notion de bien et de mal. Perturbant (et il m’en faut beaucoup pour être perturbée !!! 😆) mais assez virtuose.
