Perfect Education 5: Amazing Story

2004 · 103 min Drama Thriller Romance
4.9 / 10 · TMDB

Because of the desolate landscape, Kobayashi chose snow-covered Hokkaido (the most northern island of Japan) as the setting for Amazing Story, a light-erotic drama about a lonely man, Kenji, who kidnaps the woman of his dreams. The woman is Harumi, a hairdresser in the deserted town where Kenji has just arrived. It's never really busy in her business. Harumi's husband is a gambling addict and spends all Harumi's money. Maybe that's why Harumi doesn't try very hard to escape when Kenji kidnaps her. His concern about her and his boundless worship probably help, too. Something strange and beautiful blossoms between the kidnapper and his victim, but can this be the basis of a long and happy encounter?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the tension between captivity and burgeoning affection, exploring the ambiguous space between obsession and care. It relies on a stark, snowy landscape to mirror the emotional isolation of its characters, making their unusual connection feel both inevitable and unsettling.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the lines we draw between desire and violation, and the strange forms intimacy can take. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Masahiro Kobayashi
