Directed by Shingo Matsumura

Drama | Comedy

Overview

Rinko and Isamu have been living together for three years in what seems like an idyllic situation, except for one detail: they broke up months ago. Even so, despite misgivings from her friends, the setup is comfortable enough for Rinko not to feel pressured to change it. When an attractive graduate student takes an interest in Isamu, however, Rinko is forced to confront her remaining feelings for him and the reality of their cohabitation.

Viewing Notes

What I thought was gonna be fun drama turned into depressing drama (from my POV) and left me sad by the end. Guess you could say this steers close to home.

There’s a shopping area called Apple City that’s briefly seen near the end of the movie. I could swear that same area is in an sci-fi anime I watched earlier this year. Didn’t realize it was a actual place.

What’s neat about this is that wherever they shot this it’s all very unfamiliar like either a remote part of Tokyo or Yokohama. I do love seeing just average streets and city life in Japan.
