    Goes for your lowest and highest feelings

    Great Movie (be aware of some scenes might be very disturbing) that does not hold back any punches. You will be angry, sad, happy and disturbed.

    Amazing acting, the movie will keep you guessing and questioning yourself. Its a detective movie and multiple love story at the same time. Movie takes place in 3 different Japanese cities with beautiful cinematography. As you sit on the edge of your seat you wonder about the different scenarios that someone faces in life and how you would react to it.

    Truly enjoyable, a movie that you need to dedicate your time to it to understand it. Love it..

    Riveting and disturbing Japanese mystery/drama

    This Japanese mystery/drama is made up of three concurrent stories centring on enigmatic strangers who enter the orbits of trusting individuals from different Japanese cities, while a grim double-murder investigation plays out in the background. In Chiba, an ex sex worker forms a relationship with a taciturn young man whom her father is wary of, a confident gay man begins a relationship with a quiet and mysterious man he met in a seedy joint in downtown Tokyo and a young lady newly arrived in Okinawa befriends a drifter who lives alone on a nearby island.

    I must say that I found this film to be pretty riveting from start to finish. The detective strand of the story takes a bit of a back-seat while the three main plot strands propel forwards. But the whodunit aspect remains extremely compelling and I was gripped to the end. The various stories all play off feelings of trust/mistrust in regard to how the trio of strangers are perceived and treated by the people they come into contact with. The acting by the ensemble cast is very strong throughout and the different dramas all have a strong dramatic punch to them. The film is pleasingly unpredictable and it really is difficult working out how it is going to play out, which is of course a big bonus for a mystery movie, but while the ending was satisfying it might have been slightly less than the journey getting there. This is a fairly minor complaint as this as a whole is a very strong bit of Japanese cinema. Be warned though, there is one extremely harrowing scene mid-way through the picture which was hell of a difficult to watch and very emotionally tough indeed. A couple of folks at the screening I attended walked out at this point in actual fact, I won't say any more as its best to go into this with no prior knowledge as it is a key scene. So, it is a film which is definitely tough in places. It is a very impressive bit of work though, with strong dramatics underpinned by a compelling mystery framework and it is well worth seeing if you can take films with disturbing content.

    Well-acted but ending weakens film

    Saw this film at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) yesterday. It is a somewhat lengthy Japanese film (2+ hrs) with strong acting and interesting storyline. Most films covering similar topics--unsolved crime, mysterious loner, young lovers, homosexual relationship--would have ended up clichéd and boring after an hour but this film definitely kept me interested throughout.

    Unfortunately, I feel the ending weakens the film. The way the crime details were revealed at the end seemed rushed and wasn't as imaginative as the rest of film. Overall, a good film worth watching if you are looking for a foreign film with crime drama plot.

    True Identities

    Even without the vices of lust for money, hate, envy, human beings can be such miserable creatures. This is a heart wrenching drama set in beautiful locations and beautifully acted.

    It's a take on the psyche of simple people, when faced with adversity, sometime even not directed at them. It's about love, rage, helplessness, faith, trust and beliefs and how sometimes they get the better of us.

    Films like Se7en, Crash come to mind in terms of the effect it leaves behind. And like those films probably I wont muster the desire to watch it again, but I am glad I saw it.

    Lee Sang-il LEE SANG MASTERPIECE

    Rage (Ikari) is a Japanese suspense mystery drama film directed by Lee Sang-il and based on Shuichi Yoshida's mystery novel, following the same creative partnership behind their recent highly anticipated film Kokuho (National Treasure).

    The film weaves together parallel narratives - the hunt for a murderer across three locations and the intimate examination of trust and human connection - creating a complex exploration of both mystery and the fragility of human relationships.

    "The request was for one theme, one motivational motif that would start out sounding like 'distrust' and gradually transform into 'trust' as the film progressed," says Sakamoto.

    "What the director most wanted to explore was this human dynamic between distrust and trust - whether some form of love could emerge from that tension. It seems that's where his focus was."

    Through many exchanges with the director and his persistent creative demands, Sakamoto crafted music that masterfully captures the complex emotional depths of modern humanity.

    The melody repeats the same phrase while evolving gradually, enveloping the anger and grief that live within the film and transforming it into beautiful music.

    "This time, I went to Seattle to record the live string parts with the same musicians who played on 'The Revenant.' We got a really good sound and great performances.

    For 'Rage,' while it has elements similar to 'The Revenant,' I tried to create something with a broader range of listening possibilities.

    Since I have this work, I want to go up the stairs one by one, even if they're small steps, so that's how I approach it.
