Day 206 - Like Someone in Love (Japanese/french)

"
In Tokyo, sociology student Akiko (Rin Takanashi) moonlights as a high-end prostitute. Her jealous boyfriend, Noriaki (Ryō Kase) is suspicious, but does not know about her work.
One night, she is assigned to Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), an elderly former university professor who is more interested in making her dinner than having sex. The morning after their unconsummated night, Takashi drives Akiko to school for her exams. While waiting in the car for her, he encounters Noriaki, who assumes Takashi is her grandfather and asks permission to marry her. Takashi does not correct Noriaki's assumption and assures him he isn't ready for marriage."

A wonderful film that appears quite awkward but it screams of the modern age. At times it kind of tension pack while other times its loose and fun. There's a lot of talking so don't expect any sex or nudity at all. The film has true value in that way, it wouldn't have been as good if there was sex in the film. Rin Takanashi is such a beautiful and remarkable actress I've been a fan of hers since I saw you in Goth a year ago. I cant wait to see more films from her! Everyone in this film was great, I enjoyed watching their experiences. The chain that held everything together was Tadashi Okuno's performance which was superb. He really helped the film out by kind of being the central character. I suggest this film to those that like dramatic movies.

2.5/5
