Plot: A documentary crew sets out to interview two guys who are part of a film club in school. They have a reputation for being violent, but they still agree to be a part of the documentary. While experimenting with film styles, we also see them rebel against traditional conventions, often taking things too far.

The start of something big. It's Shiraishi's first film, and already he was experimenting with the faux documentary style (even before TBWP became a thing). The quality is rough, and it takes a while before the film gets going, but the second part is noticeably better and often harsh and nihilistic in its delivery.
It's also fun to see some stabs at other popular genres (the cyberpunk segment stood out for sure), but this is mainly about two guys who are completely out of control. The footage is pretty rough, and so was the acting, but there were some messed-up moments that made this worth the effort. It does help if you know who Shiraishi is and what niche he occupies in the realm of Japanese cinema.
