About Nôpan yukatazuma: Futomata no nikuzuki
Yosaburo's wife Chieko ran away from him, and he was running a public bath on his own. One night, Sakura, a beautiful woman he had never seen before, visited the bathhouse. Yosaburo was completely captivated by her. From then on, Sakura came to the bathhouse almost every night. However, Kumagawa, a regular customer, heard a rumor that a woman in a yukata was looking for men in the neighborhood. Yosaburo was worried, so he followed her on her way home from the bathhouse, and Kumagawa passed by. After a brief exchange of words, they started walking together. Then she disappeared into a house. When Yosaburo went around to the garden to peek inside, Kumagawa was playing with Sakura's body...
Directed by Satoshi Shimomoto, Nôpan yukatazuma: Futomata no nikuzuki leans on a strong ensemble — Tarō Araki, Kyôko Kazama, Yuki Tsukamoto — 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 2000.
