Synopsis: After 54 schoolgirls simultaneously jump in front of a train at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, the city is plagued with "suicide clubs"--groups of teens who get together in order to kill themselves.... After 54 schoolgirls simultaneously jump in front of a train at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, the city is plagued with "suicide clubs"--groups of teens who get together in order to kill themselves. The police have little luck in deciphering the goings on, but they do keep finding a ribbon composed of bits of skin from all the previous suicides at the scene of each new death scene. They are also aided by a mysterious hacker who continually tallies the deaths on a bizarre website. But do the deaths have a connection to the all-girl pop group "Desert?" This unusual Japanese film collects elements of the horror, satire, and crime genres for a one-of-a-kind cinematic brew. [More]

Shion Sono tente beaucoup plus de choquer son public [...] que de cerner adéquatement son sujet dont le potentiel justifiait amplement la mise en chantier

David Nusair

...contains an outstanding premise, but mucks it up with inexplicable plot developments and an infuriatingly open-ended conclusion.

David Cornelius

The film’s an odd blend of mystery, social commentary, experimental freak-out, and all-out horror, and while the blend doesn’t always work... it works well enough.

Rod Gudino

An exceptionally unique movie dying to be rescued from what is essentially a mild case of hubris.

Pablo Villaca

A incompatível mistura de humor negro, suspense, drama e divagações pseudo-filosóficas acaba desperdiçando uma premissa que poderia ter gerado um filme fascinante.
