Like Someone in Love

2012 · 109 min

A quiet, observant film that lingers on everyday moments, building subtle tension and melancholy through long, reflective scenes.

Overview: An old man and a young woman meet in Tokyo. She knows nothing about him, he thinks he knows her. He welcomes her into his home, she offers him her body. But the web that is woven between them in the space of twenty four hours bears no relation to the circumstances of their encounter.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, earnest and warm. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Isolation, identity, deception, loneliness
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
