About Sex Is No Laughing Matter
Mirume is a 19 year old college student who falls in love with Yuri, an almost 40 year old art teacher at his university. Yuri isn't your typical college professor, having a quirky sense of humor and unpredictable personality. When Yuri invites Murume to her studio, she playfully seduces the still naive 19 year old student. Things become more complicated when Mirume discovers that Yuri is married to a much older man....
Directed by Nami Iguchi, Sex Is No Laughing Matter leans on a strong ensemble — Kenichi Matsuyama, Hiromi Nagasaku, Yu Aoi — 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 comedy titles of 2008.
