WARNING: This movie is not a comedy .. This is not a "happy" or "joyous" movie .. The only thing that "lightens" this grim subject matter is the kid song musical they keep playing over and over again ..
This is a veeery dark movie (I say darker than Kanako ,, and way less fun) about a woman, Matsuko, and her past .. She's discovered died in the field one day and her young nephew decides to decode the mystery of his Aunt whom he never knew ..
----- S P O I L E R S -----
It shows Matsuko 50 year life span dealing with: negligent parents, sibling jealously, abandoning home, cycle of abusive relationships, cycle of being used for her body and sex, life as a massage parlor girl, getting pimped, murder, prison, unemployment, general insanity, hiding from your loved ones, living the final days of your life in complete solitude, to eventual - death .
Yeah .... I say if you want to see a depressing tale of the downwards spiral of a young girl go see World of Kanako .
