We chose this film for our retrospective movie episode.
Actually, this is our first retrospective movie episode in two years. While Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi has a new film currently in theaters, we have decided to focus on his previous work, Aku wa Sonzai Shinai. Because this film had limited screening opportunities during its initial release, we decided to rewatch it together. We share the enthusiasm behind why we wanted to discuss this film again as movie fans.
A film so captivating you will want to buy it after watching.
