Love's Whirlpool
In a fancy condo in the Roppongi nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, four women and 4 men gather from midnight. They have all paid to be there (men over women), and they've just one thing in common--they search unidentified sex. Utilizing no names, they're known only by these type s: freeter (temp or parttime worker), mild mannered salaryman, duplicitous OL (office lady), self-conscious working class mill employee, perfectionist educator, seasoned pervert, timid NEET ("not in education, employment or training") and bashful college student. They exude their identities at a nighttime of debauchery. Daisuke Miura's adaptation of his critically acclaimed 2005 play of the exact same name investigates Japan's fuzoku (sex industry) with depth, humor and freewheeling indecency. This upsetting, sensuous and unexpected film includes heartwarming performances by Mugi Kadowaki and Sosuke Ikematsu, that are tempted to mix love with gender.
