I am just about to watch this film. Apparently this is a twisted kind of a love story of a beautiful girl and a slob. 🙂 Yeah that would happen.
It could actually because this girl, though gorgeous with her long hair and good skin, is a sloth. She doesn’t do anything but sleep, eat and moan. Who would put up with her?
This loving slob, who works all the hours to provide for Towako.
Actually this movie is very dark but very watchable film because of the excellent acting from the cast, especially the lead girl, Yu Aoi. She is very versatile. She shows feisty character and vulnerability in equal measures. This film is a good vehicle for her talent.
Anyway Towako was once and innocent and deeply in love young woman with a gorgeous, masculine guy. He was Kurosaki.
She tasted the good life with Kurosaki. . They had idyllic romantic holidays together.
But one day, he asked her for a favour. He said that he was in a lot of debt especially to a man called Kuneida. Kuneida apparently saw her and had rather taken a fancy to her. Kuneida was an old man but said that he was willing to write off Kurosaki’s debt if Towako sleeps with him.
Towako was absolutely mesmeried by Kurosaki and would do whatever he asked. Therefore, despite her better judgement, she slept with old Kuneida.
After a week or so, Kurosaki wanted to break-up because he was getting married to Kayo. Kayo was old Kuneida’s daughter.
She was absolutely broken-hearted and very upset of being used. They fought but she ended up bruised and battered from the slaps, punches, and kicking from Kurosaki.
Though still battered she started in a new job, where Jinji works. He was uncouth, short, squat but has the stamina and persistence that can break down walls.
Jinji told her that he does not expect her to sleep with him but he really wanted them to be friends.
Towako started living with Jinji and settled in a one-sided love by Jinji, He treated her like his princess, his better half but without much fringe benefits. He does get lucky once in a while:)
After three years, Towako heard from Kurosaki. He told her that in the last three years he had missed her every day that he can’t really relate with his wife and family.
They were loving every minute of their reunion until Kurosaki once again was up to his tricks. He wanted the same favour. Apparently he owned his now father-in-law, Kuneda, 10 million yen. It would break his family and him, if he can’t repay the old guy. Kuneida apparently will forget the loan if Towako would sleep with him once more and he had never forgotten her.
This did not end too well. They parted ways for good.
But no matter what she do to forget him, she just can’t do it.
One day she got to meet Mishusima, who reminded him so much of Kurosaki. Before you can blink they are on some gratuitous sex.
Actually forget the gratuitous, Tori Matsuzaka and Yu Aoi were sexy together.
There is a twist ending and it was poignant.
It is a love story of some sort which ends in tragedy like every great love story.
