Anyone seen a film called PAIN?

[Pier Maria Bocchi]

Saw it at the Venice Film Festival last year.

If this is it, it's directed by Masato Ishioka.

Very boring, interesting somehow, but too long, too tedious, almost
uninspired.
It tells something about the sex industry and the young people involved, and
at first it's curious, then it goes dull.

At the Festival, it seems nobody liked it. My magazine, Cineforum, had a
very bad rating of it.
