冷たいのがお好き

About This Movie

冷たいのがお好き is quite the curious piece from '87. It has that unique vibe typical of Japanese mystery dramas, with a blend of tension and intrigue that keeps you guessing. Harue Hashimoto stands out as the mystery writer, weaving in her fictional murder tricks during casual chats with her friends, which adds an unsettling layer of reality. The performances, particularly from Miki and her quirky, almost morbid humor about her boyfriend, inject a strange charm into the narrative. The pacing is leisurely but deliberate, making the final moments all the more impactful. There's something distinctly atmospheric about the settings, which feels like a character in itself, almost inviting you into their dark, twisted world.

This film has been somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with limited availability on physical media over the years. It’s a title that draws attention for its unusual narrative style and the interplay of character dynamics, making it a talking point among enthusiasts. Original VHS copies can be particularly hard to find, and even DVD releases are scarce, so it piques interest for those looking to delve into rare Japanese cinema.
