Moonlight Whispers (Japan, 1999)

An offbeat study of the adult games that men and women play filtered through the actions of two seemingly innocent Japanese school kids, Satsuki and Takuya, two 17-year-olds who first meet practising kendo but later fall head over heels in love. They then discover the ways they can most exuberantly express their love for one another, no matter how perverse.

Moonlight Whispers (a.k.a. Sasayaki) portrays a twisted relationship that only becomes more disturbing as time goes on. A teenage romance gone perverse and deranged, but also a romance that feeds off the students own bizarre desires.

Genre: Drama/Romance
