Director: TAKAHASHI Izumi
[Introduction]
Insurance salesman KUROKAWA's girlfriend, Shino suggests he take a part-time film crew job, and so must meet with the client Yoshiroku. He says the job entails shooting his revenge for bullying he was victim to in the past. The troubled KUROKAWA will always remember the urgent look in Yoshiroku's eyes as he says, "Just shoot what you see." Swamped at work, and having forgotten how to seriously confront people, a bewildered KUROKAWA takes on the job. Several people become embroiled with one another, and by the end, revenge begins...
TAKAHASHI Izumi made a striking debut with "The Soup One Morning" (04), and "What the Heart Craves" (07) was screened at TOKYO FILMeX. His highly anticipated new film is an ensemble drama depicting the complex psychology of several men and women who unexpectedly come to know one another on account of revenge. The story is told freely moving back and forth in time, and the assembling of the seemingly unrelated separate episodes like a mosaic can only be called superb. The excellence of the actors' ensemble performances centered around "Gunjo-iro" members HIROSUE Hiromasa, SHIN-E Midori, and NAMIKI Akie is already a matter of course.
