    A contest between two directors, 2LDK (it's Japanese apartment nomenclature, 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, see?) had to be shot in 8 days with only two actors. These are two roommates with very different attitudes, both actresses up for the same part. At first, you can hear all their thoughts, bouncing between lines that are exposed as passive-aggressive, but the tension between them soon moves across a line that marks a point of no return (is that a mixed metaphor? regardless). Violence in the Japanese splatter style ensues, and you're never quite sure if you're in a metaphorical battle, a metatextual audition for "Yakuza Wives", or some form of reality. It's probably all three, but the ending does make a choice for you, and makes me pine for a couple of alternate, more clever endings that crossed my mind. Nevertheless, for a quicky made with little means, Yukihiko Tsutsumi's entry for this "film duel" is fun and has a lot of grit. 1 month ago
