    The portrayals by the fetching Ms. Yoshikawa and Mr. Takeda are consistently absorbing, and Mr. Limosin's plotting, though essentially gimmicky and manipulative, packs mystery and tension.

    The film may never fully attain the emotional resonance it seems to be striving for, but it's still an accomplished and interesting piece of work.

    Doesn't so much titillate as irritate.
