Film #34: Ocean Waves (I Can Hear The Sea) (1993)


Directed by: Tomomi Mochizuki


Starring: Nobuo Tobita, Toshihiko Seki, Yoko Sakamoto


So, after watching Only Yesterday, I still couldn't be bothered to turn off the 360 so let this film carry on (note: it was 2 in the morning).

This film is about a love triangle of sorts between two friends and a new girl who has transerred from Tokyo.

Both friends fall for the girl but Morisaki (whom the film follows) sees the real side of her when she asks him for money and doesn't pay it back, she uses the money to go to Tokyo and then drags him along, and she is downright rude to him and his best friend.

So, we've got two friends who like this horrible girl and then they both find out what she's like, and fall out until they meet up again for a reunion. Luckily it has a happy ending.

This was actually a movie done especially for TV and it's surprising that something made for TV can be so good and subtle.
