This is difficult because I expected to like this movie much more than I did. There is a lot of creativity in it, starting with the premise itself. The photography and sometimes other-wordly sets also impressed me. What disappointed me was the absence of a communicated clear vision. At the end, I didn't know what I had seen or how I felt about it. I wasn't sure if the story was about mask & identity, or about cultural monster labels and prejudice, or about the aftermath of Nagasaki/Hiroshima bombing, or about love and the lack of it.
