video source from youtube Koyuki,Yu Koyanagi, 2010 People usually complain that anthology films lack coherence and consistency. To me it's one of the big perks, but for those people Women Play Twice might be the perfect compromise. Even though there are 6 different shorts, they are all directed by the same director and shot in a very consistent style. Each short handles a different type of woman as seen by one of the passing customers of a small bar. The result is a cozy little romantic drama that uses the variation of the different stories to stay clear from boredom setting in.I usually write a mini-review for each separate short, that would be pretty impractical though as I would be repeating myself over and over again. There is not much difference in style and execution between the different shorts, keeping the quality of the film very consistent all the way through. Each short has a small climax near the end, but there isn't one short that really stands out or falls short compared to the other ones.The.. |
