Sweet Little Lies (2010) NTSC DVD9 Custom

Underneath the veneer of orderly lives, frozen smiles and awkward averted glances, SWEET LITTLE LIES is a cold-as-steel clinical study of a couple. Married for three years, the couple keeps up the apparently tender rituals of newlyweds, but all is not as bright and beautiful as it would seem. Miki Nakatani, ôthe best Japanese actress of her generationö (Mark Schilling, Japan Times) plays the emotionally and sexually starved wife in Hitoshi YazakiÆs anti-melodramatic chronicle of the disintegration of a marriage. Even the most seasoned viewers will be struck by the menacing calm of YazakiÆs compositions, and his unveiling of lives made from lies.
