As two longtime friends -- one a cop (Kippei Shiina), one a yakuza (Akira Emoto) -- embark on a journey to a funeral for a woman they cared about, their already awkward relationship is pushed to the limit as festering resentments surface. Masterfully directed by Masahiro Kobayashi, this genre-bending road film draws from the classics of French New Wave masters, most notably the works of François Truffaut.
