ReportSynopsis
Based on the best-selling novel about a woman who decides that her one goal in life is to have her tongue split, this is the sexy body modification movie you’ve been waiting for. While alone in a nightclub, straight-laced Lui meets sensitive but troubled punk kid Ama (Kengo Kora of last year’s SAD VACATION). Mesmerized by his split tongue, she becomes obsessed with body modification and soon wants the same treatment. After Ama’s heavily-tattooed friend Shiba (Arata, 20th CENTURY BOYS) pierces her tongue, Lui finds herself inexorably drawn to both men – and to her growing list of desires, she now adds a tattoo.

No, but it is mentioned when the three leads are eating dinner together. After Ama returns from the bathroom he mentions it and they talk about it for about 10 more seconds and then it never comes back up.

some of the sound in this movie was so incredibly apparent. Everytime a piercing is done, or someone opens their mouth to show a piercing, you can hear sounds from it. I’m generally not bothered by sounds in film, only real life, but some sounds in this film made me uncomfortable.

The beginning and end of the film are both filmed very shakily and aggressively and may cause motion sickness. The rest of the film is not very shaky.
