The story of a teenage boy named Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while operating for the sake of sin as an "up-skirt" photographer. His attempts to woo her are complicated by a spot of cross-dressing – which convinces Yoko that she is lesbian – dalliances with kung-fu and crime, and a constant struggle with the guilt that's a legacy of his Catholic upbringing.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wild, maximalist melodrama that crashes together kung fu action, romantic comedy, and Catholic guilt into a chaotic 4-hour fever dream. It's aggressively strange and sincere at once, constantly wrong-footing you while somehow making you care deeply about its messed-up characters.
