Narrative coherence is perhaps not among the film's virtues, but its loopy, cluttered story is part of the fun. And a clearer, simpler plot might have required the sacrifice of some delightful grace notes and visual marvels, like the elastic-necked geisha or the one-eyed ambulatory umbrella.

As always with Miike, coherence is sacrificed for the sake of stylistics brio and lunacy. Great fun for the whole family (seriously!).
