About Internal Medicine Room
Shizuka wandered the plateau in search of a place to die, and stood behind a cliff. Three months earlier, Shizuka had gone on a long trip in a car driven by her fiancé. At that time, he lost control of the car and crashed head-on into an oncoming vehicle, killing him instantly. As she thought about him, Shizuka was struck by severe abdominal pain and fainted. Soon after, Shizuka was found asleep on an examination table in a small internal medicine clinic in town…
Directed by Satoru Kobayashi, Internal Medicine Room leans on a strong ensemble — Reiko Matsuoaka, Miki Fukada, Shoichi Shirato — 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 1992.
