How far would you go for human connection or love? Iwai Shunji\u2019s latest masterwork probes at these questions \u2013 themes of modern isolation and technological (dis)connection that he has explored throughout his career. Unassuming and a bit aimless, Nanami (a marvelous and subtly complex Haru Kuroki) has no friends and only connects via social networks and online chats. She can\u2019t even get respect from her students, who tease her relentlessly. We first meet her on a blind date with Tetsuya (Go Jibiki), and when things go well in the relationship they decide to get married. With no one to invite to the wedding and embarrassed by her divorced parents, Nanami turns to the online all-around fixer Amuro (Go Ayano) \u2013 half Sganarelle, half Mephistopheles \u2013 for help. For a large fee, he fills her wedding with actors and strangers, and Nanami\u2019s fall from grace begins . . . Mysteries unfold slowly and suspensefully in this film that invites us to lend its broken, moorless characters not just our pity, but our love. \u200b<\/p>\n

Directed By Iwai Shunji 2016 Japan Japanese with English subtitles 179 minutes<\/p>\n
