Unexpected gem

I went into this film blind without knowing anything more than its bizarre and inscrutable title.

Right off the bat, excellent cinematography. An early scene follows the young Kiyozumi running into and through his high school which superbly captures the frantic moment in what seems like real time, with a camera that shares our early confusion. At one point Kiyozumi drops his gear at his desk and then dashes out an out-of-sight second door, and the camera is apparently just as surprised as I am as it pans back out the first door to keep track. Now it's only five minutes in and I'm fully engaged.

I'm not going to say anything more about the characters or the plot except that (as became clear from the early scene described above) it unwaveringly follows Kiyozumi. If you connect well with him and his motivations (and I did, despite taking exception to a rather dubious and unexplained decision made by him about 2/3s in) you'll love this movie.

I was extremely satisfied with the ending.
