Synopsis

Shot over a period of two years, and with unprecedented access to the Aum sect accused of mass killing with poison gas in the Tokyo subway, this astonishing documentary by Tatsuya Mori offers a complex view of subjects as diverse as personal responsibility, public responses to terrorism, surveillance, and individual rights. "A startlingly frank and disarmingly relaxed look at a group many people believe is the Devil's Own" (Japan Times). In Japanese with English subtitles. Tatsuya Mori---Japan---1998---136 mins.

A good documentary about the people who decided to remain members of Aum Shinrikyo after the subway gas attacks. Most of these are young indealistic people who suddenly find themselves the spokespeople for the most hated organization in Japan after most members of the group either leave or are arrested. The film could use a lot of editing since many scenes go on much too long. A great portrait of the media frenzy surrounding the group and how the process of making a documentary film can alter the events that it is trying to document.
