Nice coming of age against the backdrop of the Fukushima disaster. For me, Sion Sono is somewhat unknown territory, but I liked this one quite a bit. Not that the plot course and the intention is always clear, but a number of scenes and developments were worthwhile.
For example, the character Yuichi is quite nicely developed. He literally lives on the fringes of society, renting out boats for fishermen and tourists. His home is not really a home with an abusive father and an absent mother. At school, he is a bit lost, but catches Keiko's attention. But it often comes from one side due to Yuichi having some internal unspoken traumas.
The film is serene, but at times also intense, typical Sono it turns out? Otherwise great soundtrack and acting. Nice!

Sion Sono already has some cool films to his credit and this one certainly belongs in that list. Wonderful, Japanese-style drama film, with quite a dystopian atmosphere and black humour. Also strong cast and story, didn't bore me for a second with this. Thick 8/10.
