Description:
All Around Us (Gururi no Koto) is an incredibly intimate portrait of 10 years in a marriage set against the backdrop of public scandal.
With All Around Us, writer/director Ryosuke Hashiguchi returned after a 7-year hiatus to offer up a story chronicling what initially seems to be a loveless relationship between two young, disinterested partners as they weather day-to-day storms in the first decade of their marriage.
At the outset, Kanao (Lily Franky) is a free-wheeling shoe repairman with the unfortunate habit of flirting with his clients. His new wife, Shoko (Tae Kimura), is a bossy, type-A personality who goes so far as to methodically schedule their sex nights on a calendar. It would seem that these two have nothing in common and are destined to go their separate ways, but love—like life—is often full of surprises.
When Kanao takes on a new job as a courtroom sketch artist must cope with the ugliness and breakdown in civility he encounters. Shoko also re-discovers her artistic side as she confronts the dark side of life when struggling with depression over the loss of a child and the dysfunctional aspects of the lives of her mother and brother.
All Around Us is a times harrowing and at others, warm-hearted and funny. It is a mature tale about the lives of adults, told for adults. The film has won numerous awards at film festival around the world and was a hit at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.
