Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of people who need a good giggle and anyone who loves a strong drama. Easy company after a long day. Fans of The Grand Budapest Hotel should feel right at home.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 15 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

This erotically charged drama traces the intersecting stories of a group of employees and visitors at a notorious "love hotel" in Tokyo's red-light district.
