    The World of Kanako, adapted from Akio Fukamachi’s novel Endless Thirst, delivers a disturbing yet powerful portrayal of teenage darkness and broken families. With its non-linear narrative and intense visuals, the film demands full attention, as its fragmented structure gradually reveals the emotional depth behind Kanako’s seemingly perfect facade. Though some editing choices and plot logic feel inconsistent, the raw performances—especially by Nana Komatsu and Koji Yakusho—elevate the film into a gripping psychological experience that boldly exposes the dark undercurrents of modern youth.
