In einer unbekannten Zeit, in einem Gefängnis an einem unbekanntem Ort, treffen die wegen Mordes inhaftierten jungen Männer Shiro Kazuki und Jun Ariyoshi aufeinander. Der scheue Jun fühlt sich von Shiros aggressiver Entschlossenheit angezogen. Shiro wiederum mag Jun, da dieser ihm in seine Seele schauen kann. An diesem schemenhaften Ort, vor dem eine Weltraumrakete und eine bis in den Himmel reichende Maya-Pyramide stehen, entspinnt sich ihre Freundschaft. Als Shiro stranguliert gefunden wird, will Jun der Mörder gewesen sein. Doch hat Jun es wirklich getan? Die Suche nach dem Motiv führt zurück in die Kindheit der beiden und enthüllt die Tragik ihrer Geschichte. (Verleiher-Text)

Lyrical. Fantastical. A detective story. It's all intertwined and tied together very nicely by the soundtrack. I think it reflects the Japanese mindset in an interesting way, or rather how they are, what they believe in. Jun, Shiro, and the smoking detective were all well acted. The bonding, the slow unraveling of a past that to a certain extent is still very hard to understand, all of it made for a very interesting cinematic experience. Don't expect a frantic pace, don't expect bloody fights, don't expect a "fluid" story. This film is about the image, it's about what can't be conveyed through peppery dialogue. Watch and listen, but above all keep your expectations low.

Takashi Miike is one of the most interesting directors for me because he doesn't have a defined style and he is able to shoot each film in a way that is most suited to the atmosphere of the story or idea. This is exactly the case with the film "46 Billion Years of Love". The prison environment, minimalism, long shots, artistic performances, the abundance of colors or their suppression. You simply have to have some kind of experience from this, even if you don't necessarily like it.
