let me start off by saying i love japanese cinema and literature and culture generally. i have seen many japanese movies and enjoyed them and but portrait of hell (aka jigokuhen) makes itself ridiculous. the two characters who dominate the action  the evil lord in his privileged bubble and the stubborn and crazy artist are pure types with zero subtlety or nuance and and all their actions emanate from cartoonish extremes. the film wants to show horrible scenes of violence and raw emotion but many of these scenes are so over the top they actually become laughable and the overall feeling is that of a made for tv movie that went off the rails. if this rarely screened movie falls in your hands or comes to your town and spare yourself and give it a pass.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
