So, 'Do-inranna onnatachi: Ōsaka fūzokuhen' is this curious piece from Yuzuru Kenzaki that really captures the grittiness of Osaka’s underbelly. It’s not just about the search for Miiko, that elusive soapland girl—it's more of a deep dive into the lives and dreams of those who inhabit this world. The pacing has this almost languid feel but it’s intentional, letting you soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects, while minimal, do lend authenticity to those intimate moments. Nobue's character speaks volumes about voyeurism and longing, and the performances, especially the one by Miiko, feel raw and unfiltered. It’s definitely not for everyone, but there's a certain honesty in its portrayal of desire and desperation that sticks with you.
