Viewing Notes

Not sure what to make of this one but I like it. The adults are assholes so it’s no wonder the children are the way they are. Neat that many of the JAPAN CUTS films I’ve seen thus far have been set in more rural Japan or at least not Tokyo. What’s interesting to see is when their living space at home looks more spacious and less cramped.
