Japan · 2005

Director Toshiaki Toyoda
Starring Kyoko Koizumi, Anne Suzuki, Itsuji Itao, Masahiro Hirota
Genre Drama

For his fourth full feature, Toyoshi Toyoda has abandoned the theme of the angry young man, examined in depth in Pornostar, Blue Spring and 9 Souls. Kuchu Teien is, on the face of it, more a drama, a character study, than a typical Toyoda genre flick. Yet within this beautifully structured and photographed film, there lies a dark soul. Ostensibly the story of a happy family, it becomes increasingly clear as the movie progresses that the Kyobashis are anything but. Despite a family agreement that they are all open with each other, the entire household knows the opposite is true.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
