    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The three stories were actually designed as the three of a group of seven stories, which have all been written already. The first two were shot in late 2019, and the third one was shot in July 2020, in the midst of the long break in the shooting of Doraibu mai kâ (2021) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • Goofs
      In one of the first shots, the photographer and the models review the pictures taken on a laptop. At the right of the screen, a pedestrian can be seen walking on the sidewalk towards the characters, and she suddenly stops and stares off screen, probably at a crew member telling her to act natural or move along.

    I Just Don't Vibe with Hamaguchi Films
    This was my second Hamaguchi film of the year (the other being "Drive My Car"), and I'm starting to think I just don't vibe with his style.

    To be fair to this movie, I'm not a fan of anthology films, so it was my choice to watch one. And I also watched it assuming that it would be similar in style to "Drive My Car" (it is) and knowing that I wasn't in the mood for a movie like that (it was due back to the library the next day so I felt forced to watch it).

    I just get very restless watching Hamaguchi films. They're static and feel very long. Perhaps my favorite movie of 2021 was "Mass," a film that's mostly four characters talking in a single setting for two hours, so it's not like I'm resistant to the kinds of movies Hamaguchi makes. They just don't speak to me for some vague reason, even as I can see that they're objectively very good movies.

    Grade: B+
