CGiii Comment
Like so many Japanese produced films, the acting and characterisations are extraordinary.
It doesn't matter who the director is - there are only two camps in which they all belong:
(1) the speed-freakish camp irritants, or
(2) the art-assaulted meditating morons.
On film...why are the Japanese, when portrayed by Japanese, come over as over-the-top maniacs...whereas, when portrayed by other nationalities, they are polite, quiet and respectful people? Someone somewhere is missing the point entirely.
Anyway, this is a dull, domestic drama that will make falling off Mount Fuji seem like a glorious joyride.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Sayoko, a young woman, meets Goh and his older gay lover Tochi, and invites them to use a room in her apartment. The three become good friends until Tochi's wife threatens to expose Tochi to his office workers. Tochi leaves and Goh falls for a new man, Kurihara. Sayoko tries to entice Kurihara to meet Goh, but he is not really gay. Kurihara seduces and abuses Sayoko, leaving her with child.
