If the Japanese weren't so scared and this was actually explicit in the eroticism, I'd probably give it a better review, but on the other hand, the fact that we only see moderated nudity has something to it, especially considering the violence that takes place. The film is a good example of getting inside the head of a madman.

Existential wandering among dehumanized concrete monuments with a dessert knife in your pants. It is this inaccessibility and coldness of the new Japan, revived by cold metabolic buildings, that creates the backdrop for the simple story of a man who is simply unable to find the satisfaction he needs in the new world, even in basic existence. Like the seminal architectural structures of the period, the protagonist here reflects the uncertainty of his purpose in the new society, his fear of transformation, and his sense of having grown old before discovering his place in space. He thus achieves fulfillment through the animalistic extremes of the ruins of the old world, whether it be a deadly accident in a junkyard, a murder in a demolished bowling arena, or gastro/intercourse on the graves of soldiers. A panicked response to the fear of the too-rapidly changing Japan of the 60s and 70s.
