Short description
Nagito has a fetish for calligraphy on the human body and meets her ideal soulmate Jerome, an English translator sent to Japan. However, once Nagiko's father's gay publisher rejoins the scene, the story is overtaken by treachery and bloodlust.
What's left behind the scenes
- When Nagiko's mother says happy birthday, she begins speaking in Japanese and then switches to Mandarin Chinese.
- The characters in the film mostly speak Japanese, and some subtitles are either deliberately given with errors or omitted altogether.
- The film is included in Steven Schneider's list of "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die".
