Here’s the full trailer for Shoji Kokami’s upcoming comedy Renai Gikyoku: Watashi to Koi ni Ochite Kudasai.
Based on Kokami’s own hit stage play, the film stars Kyoko Fukada as a selfish, but talented screenwriter named Mayumi Taniyama who’s been suffering from a severe case of writer’s block. One day she’s visited by a hapless television producer and enthusiastic admirer of her work named Mukai (Kippei Shiina), who tells her he’ll do anything to get her to write a script for him. In response, she bluntly requests that he fall in love with her.
Fukada’s role is broken into three different parts: Taniyama, the lonely housewife in her script, and the beautiful woman in the fictional housewife’s script.
Showgate will be releasing Renai Gikyoku in Japan on September 25, 2010.
