Confessions (告白)

Of all the abstract Japanese films that I have seen to date. This is by far the most alluring one.
Most part of the show is shot in monochrome colours with slow frames aplenty which gives its dark story an even darker tint.

Good Japanese cult films are notorious for their violent nature and warped innuendos.
But non has been quite as beautifully shot as this one. The camera angles, the monochronic colours, the cinematography and the soundtracks makes you feel as though you are watching a well paced 107 minutes long commercial about exacting revenge with an unlikely composure and more.

The best thing about this film is that the story actually makes sense and ties up in the end.

I have always associated the multi-talented Matsu Takako with cheerful words but her acting prowess in this film totally convinced me otherwise...

Brace yourself for a ride on the wild side from this calm psychotic thriller bursting with juvenile adolesence.
