Asuka works in a lakeside fish factory. She is just about to be married to her boss. One day, she encounters a Kappa, a water creature living in the lake and learns that it is the reincarnation of Aoki, her first love. What ensues is a zany spectacle of love, music and sex.I managed to catch Underwater Love at Fantastic Fest this year, and it is a really fun and charming film. Charming might not be the word usually associated with pink films, but this one breaks lots of rules, so I feel safe saying that. The film was shot with a miniscule budget and churns out a ton of heart in the process. Doyle's photography is obviously a large part of that production value, but when you add in the song and dance, and the general attitude and warmth of the film, it's hard to dislike.

Yay! I was gonna see this, among other asian films I've anticipated (The Sword Identity, Smuggler, The Raid, Guilty Romance and Miike's Harakiri), at the Stockholm film festival. It would have been so much fun to see this one on the big screen, and have a face2face with the director, but as I'm not going I'll have to watch these at home. Great to hear that Underwater Love is out so soon!
