Akai hashi no shita no nurui mizu description
This strange fable of a movie, like other movies by Japanese director Shohei Imamura (The Eel, Dr. Akagi), is both enchanting and perplexing. After being laid off, a salesman (Koji Yakusho) travels to a small town to seek out a treasure hidden by an elderly friend of his. Instead, he finds a young woman who has a peculiar condition: she releases gushes of water when she has orgasms. Meanwhile, her grandmother waits for the man who left her years ago to return; an African marathon runner passes their house every day; and three fishermen cast their lines into the nearby river, for the water the young woman vents attracts an abundance of fish. The baffling significance of the movie's more fantastic elements doesn't keep Warm Water Under a Red Bridge from also being charming, strangely sincere, and surreally comic. --Bret Fetzer |

Sweet, cute at times, and bizarre under it all

Yosuke is a crumbling salaryman - but not really, since the salary isn't coming in any more. In a culture of lifetime employment, mid-career changes are difficult if not actually disreputable, so there's pressure to get a new job, any job. Hoping to find better chances outside of Tokyo, he lands in a fishing village, with a half-believed story of hidden treasure. What he finds instead is cute Saeko, wearing a long loose skirt (there's a reason for that). She's stealing something insignificant from a store, and standing in a puddle on the store's otherwise dry floor.
Obsessed, he hunts her down. When he finds her, she grabs him and makes love right there, with completely unexpected outcome. She has this little problem, you see, and can only relieve it by doing something naughty - like stealing, or ravishing a surprised stranger. Relief comes in the form of a magical "venting" of water, gallons of it, jets of it, and not one of the usual human excreta. She finds him extremely relieving and, in a charming twist, her outpouring turns out to match a kinky side that Yosuke didn't even know he had.
It's pretty silly, and the sexual themes never cross over to real eroticism (unless you share a kink with Yosuke). The story, such as it is, wanders rather aimlessly between an African student on an athletic scholarship, a street thug, a fishing boat, and a sweet young woman with a little problem. In the end, it's a problem they kind of like.
