Bird people in China

I myself am surprised at how bored I was. The entire poetry of the village, the nephrites, the river, singing, and wings didn't work on me at all, and the final twist of one of the key characters seemed forced to me. However, Director Miike Takashi is a sly one, and with the final monologue and last shot that I wanted to see, he earns twelve points for five minutes, so the rating is closer to two and a half.
