Tokyo Mary Gold  (Japan Version - English Subtitles)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Director Jun Ichikawa delivers Tokyo Marigold, an understated, atmospheric drama starring the enchanting Rena Tanaka. Eriko (Rena Tanaka) is a lonely young woman in Tokyo who takes an opportunity to spice up her life by proffering a deal to a shy young salaryman named Tamura (Osawa Masayoshi). Though Tamura has a girlfriend studying abroad for one year, Eriko offers to be his live-in love until the return of his true girlfriend. He agrees, but the arrangement takes Eriko on a journey she neither anticipated nor truly wanted. Life takes on new beauty and joy for Eriko, but the predetermined end of her love is like that of the French Marigold - after one year it will wither and die, leaving nothing. But Eriko is a living, feeling girl, and as much as she doesn't want it, her one-year love changes her irretrievably.

Full of evocative urban locations and subtle observations on modern Tokyo life, Tokyo Marigold is an entertaining and affecting drama that convinces in its complete and realistic portrait of a girl who steps out of her shell to make a choice that forever changes her inside. Full of wondrous human details, and featuring a charming central performance from the talented Rena Tanaka, Tokyo Marigold is an artful, beautifully-rendered drama grounded in clearly identifiable human emotions.

酒井エリコ・21歳。彼と別れたばかりの彼女は毎日が虚しくて、何をしてもつまらない。そんなある日、彼女は合コンで出会った会社員のタムラとデートする事になる。しかし、彼には留学中の恋人がいるという。それなのにタムラは平然としてエリコとデートを重ね、エリコもタムラに心ならずも惹かれていく。そしてとうとうエリコは、「彼女が帰って来るまでの一年だけでいいから、私と付き合って」と期間限定の交際を提案してしまう…。
直木賞作家・林真理子の短編小説「一年ののち」を原作に、「東京夜曲」でモントリオール映画祭最優秀監督賞を受賞した市川準監督が贈る青春ドラマ。主演は「がんばっていきまっしょい」で各新人賞を総ナメにし、その後も「はつ恋」など映画を中心に活躍する田中麗奈。優柔不断で自分勝手なオトコに振り回されて傷付く、ごく普通の女の子・エリコを自然体で演じている。相手役を務める小澤征悦は日本が誇る指揮者・小澤征爾の長男で、アメリカで演技を学んだ国際派。また、樹木希林、寺尾聰といった実力ある俳優陣が脇を固め、画面を引き締めている。

interesting but slow Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
This movie is about a girl who struggles through life trying to define herself in relationships. Somewhere in the movie she ends up meeting a man that has a girlfriend that went off to America to study. So for a year, he's single, and he wants to become romantically involved with Rena with the condition that in a year, their relationship will cease, somewhat like how a Marigold blooms once a year. And how it ends? Well, you'll just have to watch the movie to find out.

If you're a fan of Rena Tanaka (¥Ð¤¤ÄR©`), of course you're going to buy this.

However, if you're just wondering what's a good movie to buy? Well this probably won't suit your tastes too well.

It's a melancholy and horribly slow romance movie.

It certainly differentiates itself from American movies in that the plot isn't a set formula per genre as are big screen films in America.
