About The Silk & The Secrets
Shotaro is a salesman for a men's underwear sales company. He has always had a desire to get promoted, but the reality is harsh. In fact, Shotaro's job was to lend out his room to his boss and other high-ranking business partners for their gay affairs, and to serve as an "alibi witness" to their wives for their affairs. On this day as well, Manager Shibata and his business partner, President Miyajima, occupy Shotaro's room and are in the middle of having sex. Supported by Shibata's words, "I'll recommend his promotion to section chief," Shotaro spends the night on a bench in the park, but...
Directed by Mototsugu Watanabe, The Silk & The Secrets leans on a strong ensemble — Motoshi Konno, Masamitsu Morita, Yutaka Ikejima — 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 comedy titles of 2001.
