Void requires a deep approach.

Warning: Spoilers
Talking about the emptiness of youth who have lost their meaning in life has become a boring subject these days. The reason why this film could maintain a tight tension is that the bottom of each weird character gradually revealed in various events. However, as a result, it seems that there was no depth in the character itself. In particular, there are too many unexplained parts of Yamada's character, the male protagonist who is gay. Cuz Yamada is the most powerful psychopath in this film. He feels no pain to violence but reacts violently to the feelings of a broken heart. He kills his cat impulsively and makes a strange smile at his lover's suicide. This one can realize the meaning of life only by looking at a dead body...things has gone beyond excessive. Gone Too far. Nevertheless, the bottom of the spirit is roughly finished without interpretation. This show the obvious limitations of this film.There are Only unknown lines between emptiness of the empty characters. It is regretful to the audience who were expecting a different result.I think it would have been a better movie if it went down more to the bottom of the characters. It should have been.
