Blah. Reminded me of a lot of American indie films... metaphors that don't mean much, brooding male lead character, free-spirited female lead, a couple of quirky oddballs, mobsters, etc.

It seems to fit within Imamura's oeuvre but lacks the sort of punch that is expected. But I appreciate its quirkiness, and the relationship between the leads.

Imamura is not at his best, but his narration is powerful for sure.
