A Night in Nude

A Night in Nude (1993) is a Japanese neo-noir you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Takashi Ishii, with Naoto Takenaka as a Tokyo odd-job man who takes any request, no questions asked.

A woman shows up claiming she wants a tour of the city. She says she's from Fukuoka. That turns out to be a lie — she's on the run from her yakuza boyfriend, and the man-for-hire is already too far in to walk away. Kimiko Yo's performance keeps you off-balance: every time you think you've read her character, she shifts. The film moves slowly and deliberately, soaking in the neon-lit dark of midnight Tokyo, and that patience is exactly what makes it stick.
