Love's Whirlpool
At a fancy split-level condo in the Roppongi nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, four women and 4 men gather from midnight. They've all paid to be there (men over women), plus they've only one thing in common--they seek unidentified sex. Utilizing no names, they are known only by their type s: freeter (temp or part-time worker), mildmannered salaryman, duplicitous OL (office lady), self-conscious working class factory worker, perfectionist educator, veteran pervert, self-conscious NEET ("not in education, training or employment") and shy faculty student. Togetherthey unravel their identities in a night of debauchery. Daisuke Miura's version of his critically acclaimed 2005 play of the exact identical name investigates Japan's fuzoku (sex industry) with depth, comedy as well as freewheeling indecency. This sensuous unexpected and disturbing film includes heartwarming performances by Mugi Kadowaki and Sosuke Ikematsu, who are tempted to mix love.
