I don't like too much violent, but honestly Well-made movie. Brilliant cinematography and editing I have to learn.

Disturbing and well-crafted portrait of a broken family dealing with their agony and desperation by inflicting it upon others, as well as themselves. Japanese stalwart Koji Yakusho (13 Assassins, Kairo) leads as the vicious, alcoholic father on the hunt for his missing daughter, whose pain is more complicated than her absent parents know. Multilayered narrative and hyper-kinetic editing style reveal tortured emotions behind the graphic violence, although director Tatsuya Nakashima (Confessions, Kamikaze Girls) still has problems drawing uniformly strong performances from a young cast and spends too much time with a secondary character infatuated with Kanako. Utilizing animation, musical montage, and nearly every possible cinematic tool, the film drains the audience until we are as resigned to Kanako's fate as she is. Easily Nakashima's best film, although still flawed. Fans of Japanese aesthetics may love it.

THE WORLD OF KANAKO could very well serve as a Cautionary Tale for parents worldwide. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's Must-See for anyone with children, whatever their age. That's not a joke and it's not an exaggeration: I've seen this kind of thing happen in The Real World, and it's not pretty- nor SHOULD it be; it should be just what it is here- in your face and Down and Dirty. Too often people (especially here in these delusional United $tate$) sugar-coat Life and pretend all's right with the World. Well, it ain't, and THE WORLD OF KANAKO is closer to Reality than anything you're likely to see at your neighborhood multiplex.

from the start of the movie until the end contain discomfort atmosphere with violent and some nudity.The story is quite confusing and I regret that I watch this movie.But after me and my friend have some discuss about this story it quite give us a lot of idea and what director want to teach us about so we give another shot for this story and we got what this story is to remind something for Japan people.The soundtrack is really various and their production is beautiful(even though cg is bad in action) Really recommend for someone who could open- mind for some weird story that is hard to understand.This movie is really good for someone who study art and who love plot twist or complicate story.Last remind.everyone can't be trusted.
