analyzing the overcoming and dealing with trauma through a new vision. sato's films fit the description of "the means justifies the ends", where, superficially, you have all things deemed downright bad or taboo; sex, violence, insanity, pervertedness, etc. however, at its core, is an ode towards simple human connection, empathy, and stress. it feels meta as we see the ventures of a guy, who also seems mysteriously disturbed, take videos of the distressing occurrences, which in of itself, is one of the factors the girl seems to be trauamtized by; videos, cameras, and its strange static and noise. a pinku eiga of cybernetic-horny metaphysics, topped with humanistic simplicity, calling out all the evil and dangerous walks of life, and requesting for it to fuck off. i, indescribably, felt very, very emotional watching this. heavy shit right here, like actual heaviness. it doesn't back away from shyness, stylized aesthetics, and transparency of the taboo.

Director- Sato Hisayasu.This is the first film I have seen of Sato and was excited to do so.It was quite an interesting film in terms of visual and metaphors. For me the film is about how the viewers is as much a part to be blamed as perpetrators during an incident. People who do nothing even when confronted by the incident are the worst.The film also has themes like, People share their trauma with others that are close by. The FL is someone who is suffering from an incident during her school era that made her hate the eyes or cameras I.e. people viewing on sensual occasions leading her to blind them.Thus creating a typical method befitting a serial killer.The ML is someone who films people in compromising situations of the same nature and thus is the very thing the FL despises.As the film goes on we learn that the FL wasn't the victim in school but it was instead her sister. The ML also was a part of that incident and it is what started him in the profession he's in.The ending symbolizes how one can't escape sin and thus can only die.The film's visuals are of a surreal nature and have a feel of being shot by a shoddy camcorder.The film is shot quite voyeuristically but it is in no way invoking something from the viewers except disgust for ourselves as we too are viewers that are doing nothing.

an incredibly depressing film. Satô creates a truly isolating and lonely atmosphere through his claustrophobic cinematography & focus on voyeurism. his camera work is always superb, with this being no exception. especially when combined with its cold colour pallet, this really is a greatly shot movie! this films themes like PTSD & coping with trauma were very interesting, and we even got some cyberpunk style vibes with the therapy sequence. one of the most isolating Satô films I’ve seen yet, and for sure the most depressing.
