memories of matsuko (2006)
aka Kiraware Matsuko no isshô.
"even if he does hit me, it's better than being alone."
Shô (Eita) is at a low ebb, having left his band, and having his girlfriend leave him. Then his father instructs him to clear out the house of long lost aunt Matsuko (Miki Nakatani), who has been murdered. In doing so he becomes intrigued about her life and wants to find out more. Thus he pieces together her troubled life.
Frenetic and highly stylised film, full of drama and dysfunction, that tells a very dark story, at times in a very light and bright way. A superficial looking film, with a deep meaning at its heart.
