The movie show us the story of a japanese serial killer. We watch, in alternating flashbacks, sequences of his childhood, his cruel murders, the failure of his marriage, the destructive relation with his father, his escape through the country. The characters of the film, the murder, the murder´s father, the murder´s wife, a prostitute met during the escape and her old mother, are deeply delineated, realistic and human. There are many memorable sequences along the movie. A sex scene in a japanese sauna environment, an awfully realistic multiple killing in a truck, a subliminal and sinister persecution in a park with pools full of eels, and the marvellous and enigmatic end sequence. This is one of the best movie I have ever seen.
