อาโออิ ยูและ 4 ผู้กำกับ จะพาทุกท่านเข้าสู่โลกแห่งการโกหกด้วยการนำเสนอผลงาน ออกมาในรูปแบบต่างๆ กัน โดยแบ่งออกเป็น 4 เรื่องย่อย ในแนว Cerebral สรุปง่ายๆ คือ ดูแล้วต้องคิดตามมากๆ จึงจะรู้สึกและสัมผัสได้ถึงความหมายที่ซ่อนอยู่
Story one (episodes one to three) is great. It begins with the death of a boyfriend, and tells three stories based on the events that follow. Episode two, in which Yus character keeps herself asleep with pills so she can dream him, is a favourite of mine and is an episode I keep coming back to. So is episode three, with Nukumizu Youichi as her cat who takes on human form.
While the first two are filmed in a naturalistic style, the third part is performed on a stage and filmed as a theatre piece. It neatly finishes the narrative, with the story explaining, from a cats point of view, the basics of being happy. I love these episodes theyre beautifully shot and acted, and its interesting to note in the interview bit afterwards, Aoi Yu says she hasnt acted in a theatre setting before so she was quite nervous.
Story two (eps four to six) has quite a different feel. It concerns itself with unrequited love the boyfriend being unable to tell Yu how he feels her. Meanwhile, Yu has a hobby (Is that the right word? How fetish or compulsion?) of running as far and as fast as she can for ten minutes while inventing stories why shes running. The stories she comes up with are quite funny, and so is the bumbling boyfriend, but after the comedy the story ends on quite a tragic note. Or does it? Im not sure I understand the ending, so I cant really say.
Story three (eps seven to nine) is one of those pieces of drama which you dont really like until you watch it again, and then you remember the good bits it. The story is three sisters who share an apartment. Episode seven is shot in the style of a sitcom, episode eight in the style of a daytime soap opera, and episode nine is supposed to be the final episode of a long running series.
Its difficult to write this one. The sitcom bit is funny, and the soap opera bit is over-acted (and why do they have such shiny faces in that episode?) which leaves the third part to be the sensible one, and it focuses on a confession one of the sisters love life. It doesnt have much of an identity, and so its a bit forgettable. Until you watch it again.
Story four (eps ten to twelve) is almost as good as story one. From the same director as One Million Yen Girl, this is a sort of semi-sequel, as we see more of Aoi Yus character in the film. The first part is a college student who is caught out on her constant lying. I really like this, not least because Aoi Yu does a bit of cosplay (as a raccoon).
The second is a real gem, and tells the tale of two of Yus co-workers who fall in love and, being poor, both try to sacrifice too much for the others happiness. The third is a tale Aoi Yu splitting up with her unfaithful boyfriend, and not being believed when she tells people shes not that upset it. Its shot in such a style that you can only Yus face when she s talking to others - they re shot from behind, or are standing up while she s sitting down, etc. It s quite disconcerting.
