Go Ayano is at his most grizzled playing Susumu Nakoshi, who we first find living out of a car parked on the border between Tokyo’s highrises and a park populated by homeless people. He’s not sure how he got there, but his disheveled suit and still-valid American Express card suggest he fell from a great height.
All the same, Susumu submits a little too easily to become a guinea pig for Manabu Ito (Ryo Narita), a wild-eyed medical student with the fashion sense of a feral K-pop star.
After going under the drill, Susumu finds he is able to see other people’s “homunculi”: visual manifestations of their buried traumas, which look more like the supernatural creatures of Japanese folklore. The first time he discovers this ability, it’s like something out of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated 2001 hit “Spirited Away,” but the film never recovers that initial sense of wonder.
