A Drowning Man

"A love story then, but with a dripping tap and a nagging bad smell." - Tony Rayns
Tokio finds his wife Kumiko lifeless in the bathtub. He wanders through the apartment, wants to make a phone call, breaks off, cries, puts the body on the living room sofa, gets drunk - the next morning the supposedly dead woman wakes him up. Tokio is happy at first, but he cannot get away from the thought: His wife was dead. The apartment starts to smell strangely, and Kumiko has a similar suspicion... The male lead role is played by Shinya TSUKAMOTO (TETSUO, TOKYO FIST), who is known as director and actor. A captivatingly claustrophobic study of alienation, reminiscent of Buñuel.
