Things Rearrange
Everyday things change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this ol' world seems like a new place
Yeah, secretly i've been trailin' you
Like a fox that prays on the rabbit

No Longer Enough
.......... the visual rhythms of the game of 'matched draws' called ' tehonbiki ' played here - if not the rules of the game itself, which will elude all but the most specialized audiences - are a central component of the film's mesmeric effect. Arranged to Takemitsu's hypercussive mini symphonies, these scenes draw the viewer even deeper into the vortex of the game's mysteries - just as they do the death-driven Saeko and Muraki, who finally surrender themselves to greater wins, and greater losses, when the thrills of the game are no longer enough.
