Love's Whirlpool
In a fancy splitlevel condo in the Roppongi nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, four men and four women gather from midnight. They have all paid to be there (men more than women), plus they've just 1 thing in common--they seek unidentified sex. Using no names, they are known only by their type s: freeter (temp or part time worker), mildmannered salaryman, duplicitous OL (office lady), shy functioning class factory worker, perfectionist educator, veteran pervert, self-conscious NEET ("not in education, training or employment") and bashful college student. They unravel their identities at a night of climbing debauchery. Daisuke Miura's version of the critically acclaimed 2005 drama of the same name explores Japan's fuzoku (sex industry) with depth, humor as well as free wheeling indecency. This sensuous unexpected and upsetting film includes heartwarming performances by Sosuke Ikematsu and Mugi Kadowaki, that are enticed to mix love with gender.
