The scene at the beginning of the film is very grim, the victim was riding a bicycle leisurely on the country road one minute before, and a stranger was beaten to death the next minute. rape, and the physical pleasure of rape can keep victims humiliated for the rest of their lives.
The hero's eyes in this scene are very realistic, conveying the violence and cruelty of the anti-social personality.
The second half is too provocative, exaggerating the pain of the male protagonist too much. In fact, he is still a scumbag, and it is not worth spending so many shots to express his contradictions.
The rhythm of the whole film is too slow, and there are too many unnecessary shots. The director seems to be reluctant to cut it. I think it can be compressed by 1/3 of the length.
