A man with a troubled past, including incest with a younger sister and the murder of a woman, travels to an isolated countryside town in Nagano. There a local who mistakes him for a famous television actor shows him the town's sites, including a strip bar in which the performers remove Heian era costumes. The film's narrative is in an allegorical and disjointed manner with reference to Buddhist concepts.

I've not read every post in this thread, but this has to be the best one ever.
