Wow! This is the fourth film I've seen by director Sion Sono, after "Love Exposure", "Exte" and "Suicide Club", and I now rate him as one of my favorite directors. The film just blew me away. It's different to anything I've ever seen before.
Shamoto owns a small shop in Tokyo that sells tropical fish. He leads an uneventful life. His biggest problem is that his daughter doesn't like his young new wife who he married after his first wife's death. One day his daughter is caught shoplifting. The shop's owner is persuaded not to call the police by a man called Murata, who also owns a tropical fish shop, but much bigger. Murata and Shamoto become business partners, but Shamoto is soon shocked to discover that Murata is a mass murderer and he is expected to act as his accomplice.
It's difficult to describe the conspiracies and the intrigues that this normal man is dragged into. The police are watching Murata and ask Shamoto for his help. Murata's lawyer wants to kill Murata and asks him to help. But Murata already knows about the police and his lawyer's plans and expects Shamoto to remain loyal. The twists and turns in the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.
