THE FOOL
[ Story ]
Tezuka Osamu's son Macoto, director of Hakuchi which was invited to the 56th Venice Film Festival, adapts his father's original comic of the same name into this live-action erotic mystery film.
Novelist Mikura Yosuke (Inagaki Goro) has a run-in with a drunk young girl named Barbara (Nikaido Fumi) at an alcove of Shinjuku Station and ends up bringing her to his home. Though Barbara is a heavy drinker and a slob, when she is nearby, Mikura's creative juices are inexplicably aroused. Therefore, Mikura makes up his mind to marry Barbara.
