Synopsis
New 2k restoration - Montreal premiere
Ayumi (Reiko Kataoka) juggles between her work as a call-girl and a life with a boyfriend unable to get into college. Soon, she meets Rei (Sawa Suzuki), a seasoned dominatrix aspiring to become a theater actor, who spends her free time rehearsing with a troupe that blurs the line between the stage and the bedroom. At the terminus of the Japanese Bubble era – evoked brilliantly here by neon-lit streets and chic interiors – both women bring the viewer into their nocturnal orbit, into a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, camaraderie and the joys of hanging out in the then-thriving – and perpetually horny – districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya.
