I was not expecting to be so thoroughly engrossed in this film, but I really was. Kobayashi is a brilliant storyteller and knows exactly how to create tension. And there is so much of it! A timeless (unfortunately) of what happens when power goes unchecked. We all need to watch this film and remember its message.
