Set in the woods, this Japanese movie is supposed to bring out the raw emotions in human beings - how temptations and situations affect them and cause them to do things they may not have considered themselves capable of. Different perspectives of possibly the same story bring that out. Very good performances, good handling of a not-too-easy subject matter. My personal concern is that often you understand these things and then you do not have to be preached about it, and often you do not understand them and hence can not be convinced about them. It is a bit too life like.
