While the police investigates the matter, more suicides are being committed.
The flick kicks in with a mass suicide committed by a group of young schoolgirls, who decides to jump and kiss the rail in front of the moving train. Furthermore, the plot is the major source of the unavoidable confusion. Even though his role in Jisatsu Saakuru is a bit laid back compared to the one of his in Ôdishon, I can't help to take notice of him and there's just something about him and his charisma that I like. The flick features another appearance of Ryo Ishibashi (who played Aoyama in Takashi Miike's international breakthrough, Ôdishon), who is a great actor indeed. Checking out the IMDb message board was of very little help, as it seems most of us feel equally confused when the credit rolls. When I'm writing this, I still feel a bit confused about the flick. In the scene of Kurota's suicide, the gunshot has been extended long enough to show the bullet actually going through the back of his head.In the scene showing the introduction of Genesis, there are two added parts of him stepping on a cat, and then crushing a dog under his foot.In the suicide montage the portions showing the woman cutting off her own fingers is extended dramatically, and there are a few more lines added to the background song to accommodate this.In the school sequence, the ear is now shown being pushed off the roof of the building.In the subway scene in the beginning, the shot of the girl hitting the tracks is extended long enough to show her head getting run over by the train.There are six additions to this version of the film. Not only can they be differentiated by the unrated version having a red stripe on the cover, but they have different pictures on the sides of the DVD cover (the unrated having a picture of Mitsuko). Two different R1 versions of the film exist, an R rated version and an unrated version.
