Time Out

It's well enough acted and directed to advance Kurosawa's claim to be taken as an important new voice in Japanese cinema.

There is no clear-cut conclusion. The film is not wrapped up in a nice neat little package. Kurosawa shows us a glimpse into this strange world and then pulls away, leaving us to figure out the answers, answers that may never come.
