Desire

2005 · 133 min Drama
4.0 / 10 · TMDB

Yokubo from director Tetsuo Shinohara is based off of the award-winning love story by Mariko Koike. A young man searching for physical comfort and dumb lust, and the world-weary woman drowning in a sea of men that works with him. This is a fantastic new film from a remarkably skilled cast about "the beauty of sensualism."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the contrast between two types of loneliness—the aggressively youthful and the wearily feminine. It explores not passion itself, but its ghost, relying on the camera to capture the awkward pauses and eloquent silence between the characters.

What lingers after viewing is a tender yet merciless meditation on the search for warmth in a world where bodies connect faster than souls. A poignant study of fleeting intimacy. — MovieFinder Editorial
