About Body Drop Asphalt
Eri Manaka lives alone in the big city. She writes a romantic novel on impulse and is startled when it gets rave reviews and makes her a literary celebrity. But doubts soon kick in, and Eri begins work on an anti-romantic sequel, in which her heroine Rie goes through the torments of the damned.
Directed by Junko Wada, Body Drop Asphalt leans on a strong ensemble — Sayuri Oyamada, Yuichi Kishino, Makoto Ogi — 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 drama titles of 2001.
