Melancholic
A Japanese drama that examines the frailty of love, intimacy, and deceit. The movie centers on Tetsuo, a sculptor who works covertly for a company that have sex dolls, and his marriage to Sonoko. The narrative turns into a meditation on loneliness, desire, and the masks that couples put on to keep their relationship intact. Issey Takahashi and Yu Aoi's performances give the story a sensitive, melancholic foundation that makes the spectator feel the weight of unsaid truths.
