[Sunflower] won the FIPRESCI award at the 5th Pusan International Film Festival. It was only the beginning. [Go] received the Best Director award at the Japanese Academy Awards. Then, [Crying out Love in the Center of the World] turned Yukisada Isao into Japan’s official hit maker. Famous for his love stories, he brings the celebrated 2002 play to the screen in his characteristic style and revives the heart wrenching love story between a married couple. The jobless husband cheats on his wife and has no love for her. The wife wants to go on a trip to get pregnant. This mismatched husband and wife may find sympathy among other lovers due to the excellent performance between Yakushimaru Hiroko, who was the main character in famous ‘Kadokawa movies’, and Toyokawa Etsushi, most well known for her role in [Love Letter]. Halfway through the film we understand why the original title of this movie was [A Good Husband This Time] while crying buckets of tears in being able to identify with the characters.
