Groper Train: Let Me Come in the Morning

About This Movie

So, 'Groper Train: Let Me Come in the Morning' presents a rather... unique slice of urban life and relationships. The narrative revolves around Kentaro, a somewhat awkward toilet company employee, who finds himself caught in an unexpected love triangle following a train station incident involving his crush, Junko, and her older sister Ryuko. The film dives into themes of desire and vulnerability with this raw, gritty atmosphere that's quite striking, showcasing a Japan that's both familiar and unsettling. The pacing can feel a bit off at times, but there's a certain charm in its rough edges, and the performances—though not widely recognized—carry an earnestness that draws you in. It’s definitely not your mainstream fare, but it has an oddball appeal for collectors who appreciate the more obscure and nuanced narratives of the early '90s.

This film has a curious standing in the collector community, often overshadowed by more commercial releases from the same era. Its rarity in physical formats makes it a noteworthy piece for those delving into niche Japanese cinema. The lack of widely-known production details adds to its mystique, and many collectors actively seek it out not just for its content but for its emblematic representation of a certain underground culture in early '90s Japan.
