Dare to be different and people will bash you. That happens in all societies. Conformism is universal. All you can do is stand up and fight against the odds. Or else you can flee from your predicament in search of something better.
The lead character of this extraordinary Japanese drama, Yuko, is a very strong determined stubborn young misfit, whose only blame is her being too good and generous to other people. To a cold and ruthless society that means ostracism and death.
“Bashing” is a powerful, brilliant, stunning piece of cinematography: an overwhelming modern Japanese tragedy.
