Foreign Movie Review: SHOWER (1999) D


Japanese:Subtitles

Predicable slow moving movie that I could only take for 15 or 20 minutes.  In this one a  Wealthy big-city executive son returns to his boyhood home, where his aging father and mentally disabled brother  run an old-fashioned communal bathhouse that's threatened by modern progress. At first, the executive son longs to return to his job. But soon, the leisurely pace and abundant camaraderie of the bathhouse, where men gather to chat and play games, has the son thinking twice about leaving his family.

I received it from Netflix because it had an excellent rating fro Rotten Tomatoes.  Made big mistake.
