Watchlist:
22-year old secretary Kazuko first bumps into Tamaki on the way back from work. Tamaki is crawling along the sidewalk on crutches at a snail's pace, and stumbles into the young audiotypist after apparently having trouble with an ill-fitting shoe over her cast. After helping her back to her feet, Kazuko follows Tamaki back to her apartment, the two of them barely exchanging words. Once in Tamaki's room, Kazuko is dispatched on an errand to fetch some beer... Their game begins..

Fans of psychological thrillers and suspenseful character studies will find much to appreciate in Gips, the 2001 film directed by Akihiko Shiota. The slow-burn cat-and-mouse dynamic between the two leads, Machiko Ono and Hinako Saeki, creates an air of mounting tension and ambiguity that lingers long after the credits roll.
