The Lust of Angels

About This Movie

The Lust of Angels is a gripping piece that delves into the darker corners of adolescent life in Japan. The story follows Saori, who faces a harrowing experience on the infamous 'molester train.' It's not just a drama; there's a palpable tension that builds as Yuriko, the enigmatic new girl, enters her life. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the societal issues at play. The performances are raw and evoke a visceral response, and Isogai’s direction lends a sense of urgency to the narrative. What caught my eye was how it explores themes of victimization and solidarity, balancing on that thin line of thriller and emotional depth. Definitely not your typical high school drama, but rather an unsettling commentary on youth and vulnerability.
