Iwao Enokizu is a middle-aged man who has an unexplainable urge to commit insane and violent murders. Eventually he is chased by the police all over Japan, but somehow he always manages to escape. He meets a woman who runs a brothel. They love each other but how long can they be together?
As a big fan of Shohei Imamura (Black Rain), seeing him tackling the story of a real life serial killer was a no brainer. It's not exactly for the faint of heart due to the grisly acts of rape and violence toward women, and it can be a bit draining. If you've seen a film about Ted Bundy, this has some of that same style of following a psychopath and being horrified by the fact that people like this can exist anywhere, and on the outside they look just like anyone else.
Genre: Crime/Drama
