With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and anyone who wants a laugh. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. A good follow-up to Peggy Sue Got Married or Booksmart.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 2 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Yuji and Akiko are newlyweds. Yuji dreams of being a movie star. He lands the lead role in a Pink Eiga soft-core sex film. The director requires him to have sex with the actress. Akiko goes to her high school reunion and is raped by a drunken guy, and then hooks up with her ex-high school love. A dark and comedic look at contemporary relationships and the pitfalls of married life. The story was written by Locarno International Film Festival, Golden Leopard Prize Winner, Masahiro Kobayashi. (Pink Eiga)
