Overview
Hiroko is about to get married to the handsome Kenichiro when disaster strikes. Her landlord stops by the happy bride-to-be’s apartment where a pair of wayward scissors falls from a shelf and stabs him in the back as he bends forward to pick something up. His body begins to stiffen even before Hiroko realizes what has happened. On the road to Mount Fuji where Hiroko intends to dump the corpse, something falls on the hood of her car out of the blue. That “something” is Fukuko Kobayashi (Yoshino Kimura), who is dying to… die. Fukuko believes that she is irredeemably unhappy and has endeavored to commit suicide again and again. As Hiroko and Fukuko begin their journey to abandon the corpse, a weird friendship begins to build.

Viewing Notes
Super cute and super Japanese movie that was expiring so I had to watch. I really adore the wind-up of the plot and how it unfolds through the middle act. It falls off in the third with both a somber and happy finale that feels odd. But the whole whimsy nature of the film I suppose that makes sense. Good watch.
