Description

An intoxicating exploration of contemporary Tokyo’s duality, LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS stars Alexandra Daddario (TV’s “True Detective”, San Andreas), Takehiro Hira (The Fighter Pilot, The Floating Castle) and Carice Van Houten (TV’s “Game of Thrones”, Valkyrie). Based on screenwriter Catherine Hanrahan’s book of the same name, and directed by William Olsson, the film is a provocative journey inviting you to get lost within the darkest corridors of Japan in hopes of experiencing fleeting moments of beauty. We follow the passionate tale of love and lust between a haunted American English teacher Margaret (Daddario) and a dashing Yakuza named Kazu (Takehiro Hira) as their affair tears them apart and reshapes them across Tokyo’s landscape of dive bars, alleyways and three-hour love hotels.

    Pretty except the lead actress. She is horrible.
  • I’ve seen much better movies in the genre.

    Not what I expected. Nothing like Fifty Shades. The movie played it too safe for me.
  • Meh

    Great cinematography. The film really makes you feel like a fly on the wall, following Margaret’s descent through a cold, but visually striking Tokyo. I just wish there was more in terms of story. The characters felt fleshed out, but I just wish we’d had more story development. Overall, moving performances from the two leads and lots of chemistry.
