Believe it or not, this is NOT the weirdest Japanese movie I have seen--that title goes to the fantastic film "Happiness of Katakuris". This film, though weird, just doesn't have the same level of charm as Katakuris plus it really is quite disgusting in spots. You see, the main female character has a bizarre curse--her body begins filling up with water all the time until it leaks from her vagina. And, she has found there are two ways to alleviate the problem--do something bad (she shoplifts) and the water level decreases or have sex and her vagina releases water sort of like Old Faithful (the geyser). This is all true--I am NOT making this up or trying to fool you! The sad thing is that the acting is really good and I think this if the plot did not contain this stupid element, it would have been a splendid film. For a better film by this same director, try "The Eel".
