Ai ni Ranbo

[Machine Translation] I'm pretending to be funny on purpose. The film was selected for competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival! Original story by Shuichi Yoshida, directed by Yukihiro Morigaki, and starring Noriko Eguchi. A human suspense depicting the violent impulses and outbursts of love! What would happen if the "love" of a couple, the "home" of a family, and the "place" in society, all of which we believed would always be there, were suddenly taken away from us one day? When the ordinary life is turned upside down, the everyday becomes the ultimate suspense, scarier than horror. Based on the novel of the same title by Shuichi Yoshida, winner of numerous prestigious literary awards and the author of many bestsellers that have been made into films, including "The Bad Man," "Goodbye Valley," "Wrath," and the newly released "National Treasure. The author, who has sharply exposed complex human emotions and their hidden essence, depicts the irascible impulses and outbursts of love with powerful brushstrokes. Noriko Eguchi, a talented actor who has appeared in films, stage performances, and dramas without interruption, embodies the delicacy, horror, ridiculousness, and beauty of women with her overwhelming acting ability! The entire film is a masterpiece of Noriko Eguchi theater! --The film is a beautiful and moving story of a woman's love for her husband and her husband's family. Momoko, who lives in a house built on her husband's family's property, is enjoying her life, dressing tastefully, preparing elaborate meals, and living a so-called "polite life" in order to shake off the stress of her mother-in-law's minute consumption and her husband's indifference. Then something disturbing begins to happen around Momoko. A series of suspicious fires at a nearby dump, her cat that has disappeared, and eerie accounts of infidelity that appear frequently... Momoko's peaceful daily life is interrupted by a series of incidents that seem to be a part of the "polite life" of Momoko. Momoko's peaceful daily life gradually begins to be disturbed.
