Love's Whirlpool
At a fancy split level condo in Tokyo's Roppongi nightlife district, four women and 4 men gather from midnight to 5 am. They will have all paid to be there (men more than women), plus they've only one thing in common--they hunt anonymous sex. Employing no names, they're known only by their type s: freeter (temp or part-time worker), mild mannered salaryman, duplicitous OL (office lady), self-conscious working class mill employee, perfectionist teacher, veteran pervert, self-conscious NEET ("not in education, employment or training") and shy faculty student. Togetherthey unravel their identities at a night of rising debauchery. Daisuke Miura's adaptation of the critically acclaimed 2005 play of the identical name investigates Japan's fuzoku (sex industry) with depth, comedy as well as freewheeling indecency. This sensuous, surprising and disturbing film features performances by Mugi Kadowaki and Sosuke Ikematsu, that are tempted to mix love with sex.
