About A Woman and a Discus
Naomi's cold daily life with her husband continues, and to quench her thirst, she becomes addicted to shopping, and her secret card loan from her husband becomes an irrecoverable amount. While working as a call girl at a hotel without her husband's knowledge, she meets Onodera, a debt collector. Meanwhile, her debt is discovered, and her husband Yasuhiko announces that he wants a divorce. Since then, Naomi's relationship with Onodera deepens. The two begin to suffer from the guilt they feel for their work...
Directed by Masanori Kudo, A Woman and a Discus leans on a strong ensemble — Yuri Komuro, Kate Asabuki, Moe Sakura — 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 1999.
