Ainanoni (2022)

Not a review but my thoughts

The movie is about how concept love, sex and marriage is different for different individuals. I have lot of qualms about the narrative decided, but need to praise lot of choices made as well. I am curious about how these characters will live, in future. Music, acting, direction and cinematography are all top notch. The abundance of sex scene somehow felt very organic and necessary.

I am not sure what Ikka sees in Ryosuke and what's her future plan. I am not sure what's Ryosuke's plan either. All he does is cheat and lie, sometimes does some introspection on his behaviour and that's about it. Ikka is clearly ruining herself and him just like stated since she thinks sex was the problem and not the lies which he is feeding her. And she wants to keep doing this forever, like that will never explode on her face.

Other than the age gap (somewhat necessary for this story), the storyline in the bookstore felt very heartwarming. You can understand him to larger extent with their interaction, and I wish the ending was slightly better, because she is still 16 /17 and he is 30 in the end. She will 💯 leave him later when she matures and he will get hurt.

But the treatment of this frail story made the watch much enjoyable.
