About Toshiue no onna: Hakata bijin no hajirai
Reina Sakuragi was once a popular actress in the world of "pink films" but has since retired. When the only surviving print of one of her movies is screened at the Fukuoka Okura Theater, Kota—who is on the verge of graduating high school— begins visiting the theater every day after his cousin secretly let him in. Then, by chance, Kota spots Reina on the streets of Hakata; she is now living as an ordinary housewife in a public housing complex. He soon discovers that she has resigned herself to an unhappy marriage.
Directed by Tarō Araki, Toshiue no onna: Hakata bijin no hajirai leans on a strong ensemble — Marin Fujikawa, Shione, Hotaru Hazuki — 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 2002.
