Love's Whirlpool
Directed by Daisuke Miura
Produced by THE KLOCKWORX, Toei Video Company
A philosophical stage adaptation that uses an orgy as a crucible for examining desire, social alienation, and the gap between appearance and appetite.
A room in a fancy downtown apartment. The evening orgy kicks off with eight men and women meeting for the first time, including an unemployed guy who pays the 20,000 yen party fee with money from his parents, and a female college student whose run-of-the-mill appearance hides a voracious sexual appetite.
