Jin-Rô is an epic story that perfectly reflects on the problems of modern society. Despite the specific setting and the historical context (the film is based on the events in Germany in 1930's), the characters are striking in their realism and lack of pathos.
The main storyline is not about a particularly complicated relationship between a man and a woman, not even a struggle between the individual and society - it is primarily a struggle of a person with themselves and their self-awareness.
Sooner or later, each of us is faced with a choice: whether to become a "machine" of society and "do our duty", without thinking about the results of our actions, or, by overcoming many problems, live "as we please", independently choosing where, how and with whom.
Despite the deep meaning of the plot, the film still keeps you on the edge of you seat. Everything matters, every character and plotline.
Overall, this movie manages to perfectly maintain a steady balance between excitement and depth. This is a great work of art!
