One ordinary afternoon, Taeko's best friend Maya confesses her feelings to Taeko's father. It's a drama, yes, but director Kenji Yamauchi turns this into a very dry, absurd, social experiment. Maya, played by Yukino Kishii, is still in shock as her friend declares, "I love you, Taeko's dad". The father is not mature, and in fact is thrilled at the attention. This confession has set off a chain reaction, which throws the whole family and all of their relationships into chaos. A mistress, an ex-wife, all of them are involved.

The real strength here lies in the film's deadpan, "seriously absurd" humor. It's not a heavy melodrama. Rather, the film acts as a scalpel, making an incision into Japan's middle class, their polite facade. Fukikoshi perfectly portrays the father, a man wavering between vanity and insecurity. His reaction to the young girl's admiration is both hilariously real, and yet disturbingly absurd. The film feels like a relay race, where everyone is chasing something that isn't really theirs. In the awkward silences and rapid dialogue, selfishness and greed are exposed. The truly scary thing is not the betrayal itself, but how everybody feels so very calm about this chaotic situation. 【电影介绍】一个本该平淡的午后,闺蜜突然对着你爸深情告白,这种比狗血剧还要离奇的戏码,竟然被导演山内健司拍成了一场冷调又荒诞的社交实验。妙子和麻耶原本是无话不谈的好姐妹,可就在某一天,麻耶毫无预兆地向妙子的父亲恭介吐露了心声。这颗突如其来的爱情炸弹,瞬间把妙子炸得呆若木鸡,也让这个原本就暗流涌动的家庭彻底失去了平衡。 本以为这只是一场少女的单相思,谁知这位由吹越满饰演的父亲,不仅没有中年男人的稳重避嫌,反而像个抓到救命稻草的溺水者,在被女儿同龄人示爱的虚荣感中暗自窃喜。然而,这个家早就不是什么避风港了。恭介身后藏着交往多年的地下情人,妙子的母亲则是一副看戏不嫌事大的姿态,在婚姻的废墟上冷眼旁观。随着麻耶的强势闯入,这潭死水被彻底搅浑,情人、前妻、闺蜜以及各种各样被卷入其中的交往对象,在道德的边缘疯狂试探,每个人都带着自己的算盘,在欲望的泥沼里越陷越深。 【观影点评】这部电影就像是一把生锈的手术刀,在一种近乎尴尬的幽默感中,精准地划开了日本中产阶级那层客气又虚伪的皮囊。它最迷人的地方在于那种一本正经胡说八道的冷幽默,导演没有刻意去批判谁,而是把所有荒唐的欲望都摊在阳光下,让你看着这群成年人在情感的废墟上笨拙地跳舞。 吹越满的表演简直绝了,他把那种中年男性的自恋与空虚刻画得入木三分,那种被年轻女孩崇拜后瞬间膨胀的虚荣心,真实得让人脊背发凉。而岸井雪乃那种想爆发又得维持体面的压抑,更是给整部片子增添了一种焦灼的空气感。整部戏的台词密集且充满张力,就像是一场没完没了的心理博弈,每个人都在追逐着不属于自己的东西,却又在得到的瞬间感到索然无味。它不是一部教你如何恋爱的甜宠剧,而是一面哈哈镜,映照出人性里最自私、最贪婪也最滑稽的那些隐秘角落。看完全片你可能会发现,原来比背叛更可怕的,是大家在混乱中那种理直气壮的坦然。
