Tanaka is going through a tough time trying to support his younger sister Mitsuko, recently arrested and hold up in jail. As an investigative reporter, he immerses himself into a story about a shocking murder case gone cold. The "perfect" family - successful businessman, beautiful wife and adorable child - was brutally murdered a year ago and the case remains unsolved. Tanaka interviews their friends and acquaintances, and as stories of their true nature unfold, he begins to discover that the family was not as ideal as believed. The interviewees themselves unveil their own hidden natures, revealing a disturbing portrait of social elitism. (Venice International Film Festival)

The Japanese cinematography in turn amazes and disappoints me. This is the second time I am watching a Japanese movie with an interesting criminal plot which was destroyed by an unbalanced storyline and the inability to tell a relatively simple story. The first time it was Rage and this time I have a problem with this movie. Traces of Sin has such a simple storyline and such a good director of photography that even though I suffered because of the confusing script, I was amazed by some very nice shots.
