"... an intensely beautiful film."

"Continue in the same direction, is the logical yet surprising answer. With Vital he digs deeper, past the skin and into the body, his camera exploring our innermost like the modern-day equivalent to Leonardo DaVinci's sketchbook. Rest assured, though, for just as A Snake of June steered well clear of exploiting the topic of female sexuality, Vital wisely avoids lingering close-ups of organs and body cavities. Tsukamoto's goal is a much more philosophical one; his search is for our individual personality and where in our bodies we might find it."
