Hisayasu Satō’s film explores psychological alienation and social taboos through transgressive themes. While the narrative disrupts conventional morality by focusing on a criminal protagonist, this disruption is rooted in nihilism rather than progressive social values. The film remains tied to problematic and regressive portrayals of interpersonal power dynamics. The focus on gendered violence and a homogeneous demographic framework limits the film's inclusive potential. Ultimately, the film prioritizes shock and psychological tension over diverse representation, offering only minor challenges to traditional roles through its paranormal elements.
