Midori Woman

Midori, a woman with green genitals, and the three men who love her lead a strange and peaceful life together. However, when Midori returns from a trip alone, the balance suddenly begins to unravel, and the drama begins to run toward its tragic conclusion. The dry, stoic tone pervades the entire film, the realistic performances of the four actors, and the frightening tension of the images. The power of this film can be seen in its 140 minutes.

Directed by Izuru Narushima, Midori Woman leans on a strong ensemble — Akiko Hino, Yuko Takuma, Bunmei Harada — 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 1985.
