Starlit High Noon (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

Written and directed by Nakagawa Yosuke (Blue Fish), the 1995 film Starlit High Noon (a.k.a. Mahiru no Hoshizora) is a quiet and lyrical love story starring actresses Suzuki Kyoka (Blood and Bones) and Kashii Yu (Linda Linda Linda) and Taiwanese-American star Leehom Wang (Lust, Caution) in his second Japanese film after Moon Child. This exquisitely shot, deliberately minimal film is in some ways an extension of Nakagawa's second work, Departure, which also featured the character Yukiko, played by Suzuki Kyoka in this film. Starlit High Noon weaves quiet longing and charming performances for an uncommonly romantic gangster drama, backdropped by some truly breathtaking scenery. Japan's southern island of Okinawa has perhaps never looked so beautiful as that captured through Nakagawa's lens.

Whenever Taiwanese hitman Lian Song (Leehom Wang) finishes a job in Taiwan, he returns to his Okinawa hideaway where he passes the time in peaceful anonymity. He loves to go to the laundromat, because there he can see an older woman (Suzuki Kyoka) with whom he has fallen in love. Lian does not know that her name is Yukiko, that she works at the local factory, that she is nursing a broken heart - he is just content to catch glimpses of her every Saturday. When Lian is called back to Taiwan, he knows that the good times cannot last. Gathering his courage, he invites Yukiko to dinner, preparing her a delicious homecooked meal, but she is not ready to start a new relationship. With an uncertain fate awaiting him in Taiwan, Lian entrusts a letter to Yukiko with another girl (Kashii Yu), not knowing that she is also in love with him.

Saturday evenings because a young woman named Yukiko is always there then. Lian Song is in love with her, although he knows neither her name nor where she lives. But his sweet little romance has no chance to blossom, as his boss tells him to return to Taipei shortly. Before leaving for Taipei, he writes a letter to Yukiko telling her that if she comes to see him at the airport, he will remain in Naha. If she does not, then he will return to Taipei for good.

Lian Song entrusts the letter to a girl whom he meets at the swimming pool. But she is secretly in love with Lian Song, and out of jealousy, she throws the letter in the trash. With Yukiko nowhere in sight, Lian Song boards the plane bound for Taipei, where the cold-blooded plot set up by his gang awaits him....
