Mahiru no Hoshizora (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

Written and directed by Nakagawa Yosuke (Blue Fish), the 1995 film Starlit in High Noon (a.k.a. Mahiru no Hoshizora) is a quiet and lyrical love story starring actresses Suzuki Kyoka (Blood and Bones), 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 Kyoka Suzuki in this film. Starlit in 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 (Kyoka Suzuki) 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 a young girl (Yu Kashii), not knowing that the girl is in love with him.
