It's been a while since my last recommendation. A few hours ago I wouldn't have expected my heart to be broken into pieces by watching a two-hour movie, but PIETA IN THE TOILET proved me wrong. How should I explain this? Let's just say it's one of "those" movies where you won't really cry but feel the sadness imprinted in your heart instead. It's one of "those" movies where the two leads have amazing chemistry together but you know in the back of your mind that a "them" is not a possibility. Pieta in the Toilet is about a man who had given up his dream of becoming a painter and instead works part-time cleaning windows. Then one day he finds out he has cancer and only has 3 more months to live. It's during this time that he meets a high schooler whom he eventually feels attracted to. That's it. That's the summary of the entire movie. Don't think, "Oh, I know what's going to happen so I'm not going to watch it anymore." Don't think, "How predictable." Give it a chance and WATCH IT. It's not the kind of movie you think it is. (I'm not even going to talk about how AMAZING the cast was because you're gonna see it for yourself once you WATCH THIS.) In case you're interested: to the left is Yojiro Noda, lead vocalist of RADWIMPS. To the right is Sugisaki Hana, who also played a role in Mysterious Transfer Student.
