Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Hiroyuki Tsuji reportedly shot this in under two weeks on location in Shikoku, using actual local businesses as sets.

Cultural

The 200,000 yen soapland appointment—a 'soapland' being a Japanese brothel operating in legal gray areas—anchors the film in specific post-bubble economic anxieties where sex work and stock speculation intertwine as parallel forms of risky masculine performance.
