Notable Quotes

❝ One of the most extreme and bizarre films ever made, where blood flows abundantly but takes on a deep meaning of psychological death. Worth watching.
❝ "I was sentenced to death from birth" whispers little Mitsuko at the beginning of the film, with the naivety of a child who has discovered sex in a completely different way from the norm, who is terrified of the sound of a Ferris wheel, who loves her mother so much she pretends to be her.
