Hepatica

Snowy village. A single crow. Relentless torment of a new girl by her cruel classmates. Their sadism escalates as winter deepens, and the adults do nothing. A tipping point is reached. Cycle of vengeance begins. Naito's film lacks the flamboyant style of Miike, but it delivers the downbeat goods.
