Watashi ni fusawashi hotel
A semi-autobiographical story about the author of the best-seller ‘Butter’, this charming and comical film explores the brutal reality of becoming a notable novelist.
Despite winning an award for newcomers, the future of rookie novelist Nakajima Kayoko (Non) does not seem at all bright, her struggles stemming from harsh criticism courtesy of veteran writer Higashijujo Munenori (Takito Kenichi). When Kayoko visits a prestigious Hotel for a writing retreat, to her surprise, staying in the room directly above her is none other than Higashijujo himself! With the help of her editor (Tanaka Kei), she devises a plan to sabotage Munenori’s work. Transposing Yuzuki Asako’s original story from the present day to the 1980s, the film is filled with satire, humour and a fabulous 80s wardrobe! (Subtitles)
