Well, this Masahiro Shinoda's movie is full of drama, psychodrama, melodrama, verging to hysteria when the film is reaching its last third. It seems to be a rather radical attempt to illustrate the OEdipus complex theory… and it's almost funny in the end.

This said, and the complete director's despise for cars added, let's do a justice to the cinematography which, now and then, treats us with speechlessly beautiful landscapes, urban or out countryside. See for instance this one with a red light before a train track I selected for rjluna2:

Or this vision of Tokyo:

But you who are here for the cars, this is not the one. Even the two with a part —an ambulance and a coupé— are mistreated. Tant pis.

PS: no CGI inside.
