plan of doom and despair 🥀
a really slow build but pays off if you are able to get thru the first hour imo
the long often wordless shots do well to develop the characters but it does make this feel sooo long really the only major minus for me
the banality of evil and attention to detail in the world building really adds a lot

This made me sick to my stomach, but I don't think that is a bad thing considering the topic of this film. My fear is that this might not be that much of a dystopian piece in a couple of decades and instead be considered realism. Wish I could give my Nan and Oma a hug right now.

C’est assez étrange de voir une dystopie si proche de notre époque. On sait que ce genre de chose est déjà en place, et justement, ça fait froid dans le dos. J’espère sincèrement qu’on se rendra compte que l’aide à mourir, c’est juste une des dynamiques capitalistes de contrôle de la société. Maintenant, ils veulent contrôler ta mort quand ils jugent que tu ne sers plus à rien parce que t’es vieux. C’est écœurant.

Une dystopie un peu que trop réaliste. On ressent un mélange entre les sentiments et une tendresse indescriptible.
Merci le cinéma japonais vraiment!
