It is the last day of the year and night falls on the small town of Toyama, Japan. A man who has come to the public baths to retrieve a forgotten object finds an old but valid ticket and lets himself be tempted. Among clouds of vapor and the gestures and conversations around him, a simple bath slowly becomes an invitation to existential reflection.
Reviews
Really Surprised!
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
