7.3 stars.
I was attracted to this film for some reason I cannot explain. The man is weird and aggressive in his own way. He wants what he wants and nothing is going to stop him, not his upbringing, not a family of wealthy people, not the government, nobody. I find that I'm lost in translation somewhat and I can detect the obvious oddities in the subtle and not so subtle hints of other culture, a completely foreign mentality nuanced to perfection. As this man continues to unravel, the story delves into the depths of his soul and inclinations. I am unfamiliar with the character that lies beneath the surface and all I see is a strangely driven man with odd traits and unfamiliar desires. Brilliant. I suggest more people watch foreign films to catch a glimpse of the world beyond and to overcome the handicap of being close-minded Americans.
