Love Me for Hundreds of Years

One of the 2nd season of "Love & Eros CINEMA COLLECTION" where various directors draw their love stories on the theme of sexuality and love. Starring Kurumi Morishita, a former popular AV actress, she depicts the mysterious experience of an old woman. Yuka, who lost her husband Kozo in a car accident shortly after getting married, loses her age due to the shock. Her daughter, Ayaka, has grown up to be nearly 30 years old, but Yuka's appearance remains almost the same as Ayaka's. One day, Yuka takes care of a woman named Emi who was drunk on the roadside, and Emi gives her a spell to thank her. The next day, Yuka finds an unfamiliar door in the basement of the library where she works, and meets Kozo, who died 30 years ago, at the door.

Directed by Toshirō Enomoto, Love Me for Hundreds of Years leans on a strong ensemble — Takashi Chiyogawa, Shû Dateuchi, Megumi Gondô — 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 2012.
