      Shindo's love

      Technically superior. Meticulous director as usual. Every detail is just there. Music, light, perspective etc. There is no need to discuss.

      How could you go far for love? What challenges would you accept or cope? It is hard to find an answer. Mostly we say something and do another. We may say 'it depends'. Cautious approach, understandable. Here in this experiment Shindo challenge viewer and lovers.

      If you have a romantic partner, this movie probably touch their soul.

      There is kinky element in this movie, but this kink not pornographically shoot. It is very emotional, delicate.

      If you like Japan romance, art and style, I would suggest. If you like action, blast or thriller, stay away.
