"Permanent Nobara" is the name of the salon for women - run by Mrs Nobara precisely (Mari Natsuki) - a small fishing village on the island of Shikoku. Deep province, static social and relational nature beautiful (very well photographed). In the hall, the center of gossip, she finds herself almost every day a group of middle-aged women, joined by Naoko (Miho Kanno), the daughter of a hairdresser back home with his daughter after the divorce, and her two childhood friends (Koike Eiko and Ikewaki Chizuru). All women, young and old, share experiences and loving marriage Bankruptcy and indeed the world of men, which is outlined in episode episode is made up of men rude, immature, profiteers. Even the new boyfriend of Naoko, a handsome high school teacher and measured (Yosuke Eguchi) seems to show signs of unreliability. Yet despite the repeated disappointments, sometimes tragic, all women, are able to retain almost stoically the will to live and try to smile and above all still love. Love, whatever it is, is better than no love. Love is life, seem to say. Nothing but rhetoric is the protagonists nor the eye of the director. After all, in fact, Yoshida seems to be saying that under the placidity the daily chatter, the apparent shallowness of women, there is often a tragedy, of which the main characters themselves are aware.
The delicate but also a bitter portrait of this microcosm of women, always suspended between tragedy and irony, refers in part to the atmosphere of the film Ogigami Naoko (not only but also Barber Yoshino Kamome Shokudō ) and for some dream scenes and surreal, the Oguri Kōhei of Umoregi . There is no beginning and no end of history. The film is a sensitive description of a stage, a piece of life of the various women portrayed. Yoshida confirmed author to follow.
film actresses, all very well directed, on which stand Miho Kanno in the title role and the great, underrated, Ikewaki Chizuru. Eiko Koike also in other films gross, manages here to provide a credible character. [FP]
