What a load of pretentious twaddle. I learned a new word in Japanese today:Izo = b**l**ks! It's taken a long time, but I've finally found a movie that's actually more tedious than "Death in Venice"! From the sadistic and vomit-inducing opening scene through the seemingly never-ending stream of blood and gore with dialogue direct from the darkest recesses of Pseud's Corner, this film is a stinker and should be avoided like the plague. Talk about "Emperor's New Clothes"! The mind that made this load of tosh must be truly sick. The violence just became boring after the first few maimings and killings. Whatever point this celebrated director was trying to make was lost on me. The movie reminded me of Monty Python's Peckinpah skit but, unfortunately, I'm not laughing.
