Synopsis
The Flowers of Evil (惡の華) is a tense, psychological drama adapted from Shūzō Oshimi’s acclaimed manga that probes the darker edges of adolescent desire, shame, and rebellion. The story centers on a quiet, bookish teenager whose life is upended when a secret theft and an unexpected encounter draw him into an unsettling relationship with a brooding, unpredictable classmate. As blackmail, attraction, and humiliation intertwine, the characters are pushed into confrontations with their own impulses and the fragile moral codes of their small town. The film focuses less on plot spectacle and more on interior states — awkward silences, simmering resentments, and the claustrophobic atmosphere of puberty and social anxiety. Visually restrained and emotionally raw, the adaptation seeks to capture the manga’s claustrophobic intensity and moral ambiguity while exploring how teenagers negotiate identity, transgression, and the consequences of being seen.
