A
criminal sits in prison and is being interviewed by a writer who wants to
document his story, a photographer that became so obsessed by his work he
became famous but also lost his way by murdering two women models trying to get
the perfect shot.
The
writer shares his life, fears and daily habits as he goes about collecting
information for the book.
Slowly
the real story begins to unfold: the writer starts a relationship with the criminal’s
sister, insights from letters written by the prisoner, his background, friends
and interests.
A
multi layered story that draws on a range of perspectives to paint the picture
of its true path
Intriguing,
skillfully plotted and totally unpredictable outcomes. Like many good Japanese stories, the twists
are so unexpected that they will leave you shocked by their depth, complexity
and simplicity.
Fuminori
Nakamura shines in Japanese story telling.
