Kotoko (Shinya Tsukamoto, 2011)

6/10
Shinya Tsukamoto's newest, about a mother constantly on the brink of insanity - seeing double (literally seeing 2 people instead of 1), cutting herself (not to die but in "admiration of the body's will to live"), abusing her lover who it turns out may not actually exist, and having nightmares/fantasizing about hurting her young son. I still don't know what any of this built to, aside from maybe an insight into the mind of a woman who could kill her own offspring...it's pretty violent and at times oddly funny, but not entirely insightful.
