About More Painful than Rain
Ayami, who works in the marketing department of an advertising agency, is about to turn 30 and is beginning to think that she would rather live her life for work than marriage. Just then, she meets Kurasawa, who works at the same company, and they soon find themselves drawn to each other.
Directed by Hisashi Tôma, More Painful than Rain leans on a strong ensemble — Ryoko Tanami, Hidetoshi Nishijima, Mami Kurosaka — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2005.
