About This Movie

Stay or Go? (1988) is a quirky comedy that dives into the chaos of salaryman Shohei Taguchi's life. He’s desperately in love with women, yet finds himself entangled in a mess of borrowed money and gangster threats. The humor is pretty offbeat, and there's a certain absurdity in how the characters navigate their predicaments. Sayoko Mukai’s character adds an interesting twist, as her gambling habits turn the story upside down. The pacing has a nice rhythm; it keeps you guessing what wild turn will come next. The performances bring a certain lightness, even with the darker themes of debt and desperation hovering in the background. This film has a unique charm that draws you in, despite its somewhat rough edges.
