(DVD, Criterion Collection)
A college student in Tokyo is involved in a late night hit and run accident that leaves the victim dead. While in the countryside visiting his elderly and dying parents, the victim's girlfriend tries to kill him on a rope bridge over a gorge but instead falls to her own death. Eventually, the entire cast dies due to a series of murders, suicides, food poisoning and other ways, and find themselves in Hell where they are punished for their sins. It is certainly unusual, but it failed to make any emotional connection with me and tends towards the melodramatic.
