Always listed as one of the most disturbing films but to me its much more than just a disturbing film. Everyone just seems to talks about the end Granted the famous part is pretty intense but the film has a lot of warmth and humour to it also. Ryo Ishibashi is fantastic as the widower and you really connect and sympathise on his quest to find love. Eihi Shiina is also fantastic in her role first she comes across very shy and reserved but soon her creepy side begins to show. First time i watched it was after hearing how disturbing it was so i was just looking for gore and i didnt understand the slow pace of the film this was at a time when i was just getting into Asian cinema so i had no clue what i was getting into. I maybe alone here but i find alot of beauty in this film. If you have not seen it try and ignore the disturbing film tag and go in with an open mind and maybe you will see the beauty i get from it. Or maybe im completely wrong
