Am I Missing Something?

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It´s the first Kaneto Shindo film I saw in my life, and I must confess it didn´t surprise me a lot. I´ve read other reviews about Shindo´s films, like Onibaba, and I thought Kagerou would follow the same line of this famous film. It´s the story of a policeman called Oishi, that investigates the murder of Otoyo, a woman who was in love with him. But during the investigation he discovers some of her secrets, like her affair with the three men who killed her husband and the idiot son she abandoned in the island she was born. Curiosity: Juzo Itami (director of Tampopo) is one of the film´s actors.
