Comments: Asano and Tanaka are both capable and their interactions are good. The kids are pretty good, too. But all the shots that are meant to say something without anyone saying anything, like tracking Asano walking down the hall, turning into the kitchen, sitting at the table, taking a drink of beer and sighing heavily, are empty. This is a big disappointment as I thought Director Mishima showed lots of visual promise with Night’s Tightrope
