Artistic or just a hot (naked) body?
4 women and 4 "trash" men.I went in thinking this would be a typical easy watching romcom, but was pleasantly surprised by some of the intricacies, particularly in the cinematography.
It's hard to talk about why this film was great without spoiling any of the twists and surprises, but I'll do my best!
I feel like the twist made me want to think a lot about what else was possible in the story.
Kinda like my experience when I watched "Initiation Love"
There's a really nice use of imagery focusing on rice throughout the film, and the way that helps to interweave not just the stories but also connect the spaces. That was really nice.
I think some of the acting and storytelling was a bit cheesy (on purpose) but it took a way a little from the otherwise solid performance.
I went and saw it in the cinema and was surprised actually that more people didn't laugh!
There were so many small moments of joy and comedy here and there that I just couldn't help myself
As something that's been adapted from theatre, I'm really curious about how the original production was staged.
I think if you're after something that surface level seems light but can also be layered and thought provoking, this is a really good film.
Or just watch for Fuma's six pack and butt shot, that's a valid reason too hahaha
