Love's Whirlpool
In a fancy condo in Tokyo's Roppongi nightlife neighborhood, four women and 4 men gather from midnight to 5 am. They've all paid to be there (men over women), plus they've just 1 thing in common--they search anonymous sex. Utilizing no titles, they truly are known only by these types: freeter (temp or part time worker), mild mannered salaryman, duplicitous OL (office lady), timid functioning class mill employee, perfectionist teacher, seasoned pervert, timid NEET ("not in education, training or employment") and bashful college student. Together, they unravel their identities in a nighttime of debauchery that is increasing. Daisuke Miura's adaptation of his critically acclaimed 2005 play of the exact same name investigates Japan's fuzoku (sex industry) with depth, humor as well as free wheeling indecency. This sensual unexpected and upsetting film includes heartwarming performances by Mugi Kadowaki and Sosuke Ikematsu, who are tempted to mix love with gender.
