Dialogue

Akio Jissôji started his career with a bang, but later on, he had a much harder time getting his projects off the ground. Dialogue is a TV-grade project that doesn't even pretend to be anything more. For a sexy TV thriller, it's not all that bad, and I had a pretty decent time with it, but Jissôji is capable of so much more.

A man hires a private investigator to stalk his wife, hoping to verify that she is cheating on him. The investigator is a shady figure who doesn't shy away from double-crossing his client, and he gives her a chance to keep this info a secret when he finds proof of her adultery. To pay off her debt, she becomes an adult actress.

The performances aren't great, the cinematography is pretty functional and the 4:3 ratio is an eyesore. The plot is somewhat interesting though and the wife's descent into depravity, while both the PI and her husband are scamming her, is intriguing enough. I just wish there was a bit more to it.
