The film's strongly Expressionistic direction skillfully combines a variety of media (animation, computer-generated imagery, grainy black-and-white fast film stock, color negatives) for artistic effect.

这是若松孝二的一部传记电影，这部传记的主人公是日本自由爵士萨克斯风手阿部薰，这个人与普罗大众最大的联系可能就是他的表亲坂本九（代表作Sukiyaki是唯一一首以日文形态攻上billboard榜首的流行曲）了。即便是在圈内，他的爆裂乐风和脾气也使很多乐手敬而远之，比较重要的合作仅限于高柳昌行、吉泽元治和丰住芳三郎等几位，大部分都是solo专辑。 片子的主题围绕他和妻子铃木泉之间的关系展开，第一个镜头她就准备上吊，从一开始酒馆相识、拍拖、领证、生子，到最后阿部薰药物过量死亡（或自杀）、葬礼，然后又回到第一个镜头。。讲了一个完整的故事。导演把重点放在他们俩关系和阿部薰音乐的互动上。从一开始的热恋，到婚后永无休止的吵架、打斗、做爱、复合，孩子出生后片刻的宁静与温馨，紧接着又是乱斗、怀疑、冷漠、精神崩溃、出走、回归，最后是死亡。与其对应的是其间穿插的sax练习和现场演出，从起初无比快速爆裂永不停歇的风格到中期略带自省的节制和后期温情又绝望的悲号…… directed by Koji Wakamatsu （若松孝二） Shochiku and Wakamatsu productions The film was first run in 1995 The video was released 1997.

"The third film in the series, The Trap, is an unusual beast. When the film opens our perpetually down-on-his-luck hero is actually on a bit of a roll. Business is booming, he’s got a new girlfriend, Akane has been accepted into college … he’s even upgrading his office equipment. Things couldn’t be better, right? Well, it wouldn’t be noir if things went well for Hama and the story takes a dark turn when a mysterious masked figure arrives in Hama’s office and asks Maiku to follow and find him. Thniking the visit a prank, Hama ignores it. But soon bodies begin to turn up throughout Yokohama and when one of the corpses has Hama’s fingerprints on it he soon finds himself on the run from the police while trying to unravel the mystery … The Trap is simultaneously the darkest and the lightest of the bunch. With its tale of serial killers and mental illness, not to mention some of Hama’s closest friends taking some serious damage, The Trap certainly has the grimmest storyline of the three films. But, on the other hand, it also features a masked villain straight out of low budget serials, a fantastic sequence in which Hama’s mentor – played as always by Jo Shishido – gets to rally the troops, and a little bit of spy gadgetry. The Trap tries to play it both ways and does a surprisingly good job of it. The dark elements ratchet the tension up while the lighter parts keep things hopping along." - Twitch Review
