It is loosely based on an Edogawa Ranpo story, which pursues Tsukamoto's theme of the brutally physical and animalistic side of human beings rearing its ugly head underneath a civilized veneer, present in previous films like Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) and Tokyo Fist (1995), in what was a new territory for Tsukamoto at the time — a story set in the late Meiji era (1868–1912) with no stop-motion photography and no industrial setting. ## Credits - **Director:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Screenplay:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Director of Photography:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Editor:** [Shinya Tsukamoto](https://cinepixo.com/people/shinya-tsukamoto) - **Original Music Composer:** [Chu Ishikawa](https://cinepixo.com/people/chu-ishikawa) ## Cast - [Ryō](https://cinepixo.com/people/ryo) - [Masahiro Motoki](https://cinepixo.com/people/masahiro-motoki) - [Renji Ishibashi](https://cinepixo.com/people/renji-ishibashi) - [Naoto Takenaka](https://cinepixo.com/people/naoto-takenaka) - [Yasutaka Tsutsui](https://cinepixo.com/people/yasutaka-tsutsui) - [Tadanobu Asano](https://cinepixo.com/people/tadanobu-asano) - [Shiho Fujimura](https://cinepixo.com/people/shiho-fujimura) - [Akaji Maro](https://cinepixo.com/people/akaji-maro) - [Tomorowo Taguchi](https://cinepixo.com/people/tomorowo-taguchi) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
