What W's Tragedy Is About
Shinichiro Sawai's film follows a young stage actress. Shizuko plays small parts in a company, and the leading role she has waited years for finally comes within reach, but there is a price attached, and the price has nothing to do with the stage. The film presents acting not as a question of talent but as a chain of bargains and obligations. Its structure matches that: the play we are watching and the actors' real lives keep entering one another, and which is rehearsal and which is life is deliberately blurred. Hiroko Yakushimaru leads, in one of the most discussed products of the Japanese star system of the 1980s.
