Waiting in the Dark - 暗いところで待ち合わせ
Kurai Tokoro de Machiawase
2006 Japanese Film
Starring Tanaka Rena, Chen Bo Lin (AKA Wilson Chen)
Directed by Tengan Daisuke
Based on the novel by Otsuichi (Adachi Hirotaka)
Waiting in the Dark Rivew - After seeing the South Korean film Bin-Jip, I wondered how this 2006 Japanese film would compare. And I have to say, there is the distinct creepiness factor present in both movies. Creepy. Creepy because having someone living in your house like a shadow while you are (un)aware. Unlike Bin-Jip, the male protagonist in this story does not go into people’s houses and lives while they are away. No, he is on the run for a crime that he didn’t commit and seeks refuge in the house of a blind girl who lives near where the crime took place.
The movie opens in a small town.
Waiting in the Dark Rivew - There we see Michiru (Tanaka Rena) for the first time. She lives with her father in a house by the train station. Oh, and she is blind. No, she wasn’t born blind. She was in an accident when she was a teenager and lost her site due to that. Despite being blind, Michiru takes good care of her house and cooks for herself and her father. The two have a comfortable relationship, and Michiru’s father unobtrusively takes care of his daughter and brings her books on tape and in braille to keep her occupied as she has no job (which her handicap isn’t preventing her from taking one as there are jobs available for the blind).
