Cast

Release

The film had its world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2010.[1] It was released in Japan on 18 December 2010.[2]

Reception

Dustin Chang of Twitch Film felt that the film "resembles strongly of the neo-neo realism of the Dardenne brothers' films but without their sense of hope".[3] Meanwhile, Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter noted Kazuyoshi Kumakiri's "low key but tender depictions of working class people and subtle assimilation of socio-economical realities, redolent of the works of Jia Zhangke and Wang Bing's West of the Tracks".[4]
