When I Get Home, My Wife Always Pretends to Be Dead

When I Get Home, My Wife Always Pretends to Be Dead    [trailer]

The very descriptive title explains the funny set-up. But at its core it is a more serious exploration of the difficulties how to keep a successful relationship.

The wife's elaborately staged deaths are such a delight to watch. I want to recommend the movie to Michel Gondry. Another comedic highlight is the unexpected arm-wrestling match.

It gets a little too on the nose at the end. But that's okay.

Pleased to learn that "The moon is beautiful, isn't it" here is the Japanese equivalent to "As you wish".

A movie just the way I like it, a serious topic wrapped in many amusing situations. The film should be much more popular.
