A2

Synopsis

Presented by”A” Production Committee, the filmmaker’s purpose with “A2” was different. Rather than explain Aum, he wanted to show how Japanese society has deteriorated. “A2” is much more revealing about the specific dynamics that inform the general attitude toward the cult. These dynamics, it turns out, go beyond the crimes committed in the cult’s name.
