About Mokuyo Kumikyoku
A closed-room mystery where five women gathered in memory of a mysteriously dead female writer to unravel the mystery behind her death. Based on the novel of the same name by Riku Onda, directed by Tetsuo Shinohara. Four years ago, an actress/novelist died of overdose. Since then, five women who were her friends gather around once every year to recollect her memories. However this year, they receive flowers with a strange message which insinuates that her death could have been a murder.
Directed by Tetsuo Shinohara, Mokuyo Kumikyoku leans on a strong ensemble — Kyoka Suzuki, Mieko Harada, Yasuko Tomita — 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.
