The 2001 Japanese film "Hush!", directed by Ryosuke Hashiguchi, is a slow and not particularly interesting film about a recently-involved gay couple that meet a single woman who wants to have a child. The woman, Asako Fujikura (Reiko Kataoka), lives alone, works as a dental technician and tends to be a bit promiscuous and depressed. While eating in a restaurant, she overhears a conversation between the gay couple Naoya Hase (Kazuya Takahashi) and Katsuhiro Kurita (Seiichi Tanabe). Naoya works in a pet store and is rather open about himself, but Katsuhiro works in a lab and does not want any of his coworkers or anyone else to know that he is gay. After visiting a doctor and recommending surgery for a female problem, Asako tracks down Katsuhiro at his job to return an umbrella to him (that he had previously given to her outside of the restaurant) and to ask him whether he would be willing to father a child for her. It is around this same time that one of Katsuhiro's female coworkers becomes obsessed him.
This film literally put me to sleep after about an hour and I had no further interest in watching it through to the end as it is extremely slow and the characters are uninspiring. Granted, the cinematography is very good, Reiko Kataoka won two Japanese film awards and Seiichi Tanabe won one Japanese film award; but the film simply fails to be sufficiently interesting to watch its entire 135 minutes. Consequently, I can only rate "Hush!" with 2 out of 5 stars for its boredom. Some people clearly do enjoy this film, but I am not one of them. Other characters in this film include Asako's father (Minori Terada), Naoya's mother (Manami Fuji), Katsuhiro's brother Shoji (Ken Mitsuishi), Emi Nagata (Tsugumi) and the gynecologist (Ryo Iwamatsu). |
