Asian directors love to come to France to make a film, but it rarely results in anything worthwhile. Aoyama's attempt is a short low-budget TV affair, a film that isn't worthy of Aoyama's otherwise great oeuvre. You have to wonder what even prompted him to go through all the trouble.

The performances are rather poor, the cinematography looks cheap and you don't need to expect much from the score either. The setup is at least somewhat intriguing, but it wasn't enough to keep me engaged throughout, which is a little disappointing for a film that's barely 40 minutes long. Disappointing.
