Spotted the website for this a while back, kind of hints at what it's like as although many sites manage quite flash production values in Japan, some are clearly for smaller-budgeted films or a little less obvious in what they're trying to sell. Gets your attention, got mine at least, I suppose. The site's just a silhouette on a blue background, and there's just Japanese text on it... until now that the trailer's turned up, and it looks really very nice. Then, fastworward a couple of weeks, and the film appears within the MidnightEye end-of-year best-of lists for a couple of the contributors for 2006. Good sign. Interested even more now. Dark Comedy, incest. small town life. Sounds fascinating.
