Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Tatsuo Sato based this on the manga by Nekojiru, who tragically died by suicide shortly after the manga's completion—adding an unbearable layer of real grief to the surreal journey.
The film's fragmented narrative and grotesque imagery draw heavily from Japanese 'ero guro' tradition and European surrealist cinema, creating a transcontinental nightmare that defies easy interpretation.
