About Cheating Wife: Substitute Trap
Rika (Tsubaki Kanari) remarried Makoto, who had lost his first wife. Having lost her parents at an early age and continued to live in poverty, Rika was able to achieve a stable life by marrying the wealthy Makoto. However, they continued to live apart due to Makoto's busy schedule, and their feelings for each other began to change. Rika also found the presence of Yuko (Satomi Yoko), a live-in housekeeper who had been working in the house since Makoto's first wife's, to be an eyesore. When Yuko wasn't looking, she would sneak around with journalist Yuji, claiming to be attending a painting class. One day, Rika saw a positive tweet on her blog, and as the tweet looked exactly like her, a plan came to her mind...
Directed by Yumi Yoshiyuki, Cheating Wife: Substitute Trap leans on a strong ensemble — Kanari Tsubaki, Yoko Satomi, Haruna Ayane — 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 2015.

6.5Genius Party
2007 6.5
The seven short films making up GENIUS PARTY couldn’t be more diverse, linked only by a high standard of quality and inspiration. Atsuko Fukushima’s intro piece is a fantastic abstraction to soak up with the eyes. Masaaki Yuasa, of MIND GAME and CAT SOUP fame, brings his distinctive and deceptively simple graphic style and dream-state logic to the table with “Happy Machine,” his spin on a child’s earliest year. Shinji Kimura’s spookier “Deathtic 4,” meanwhile, seems to tap into the creepier corners of a child’s imagination and open up a toybox full of dark delights. Hideki Futamura’s “Limit Cycle” conjures up a vision of virtual reality, while Yuji Fukuyama’s "Doorbell" and "Baby Blue" by Shinichiro Watanabe use understated realism for very surreal purposes. And Shoji Kawamori, with “Shanghai Dragon,” takes the tropes and conventions of traditional anime out for very fun joyride.
