[Included Bonus] Booklet ■The Three Faces of a Wife Yoko Yamamoto delivers a compelling, realistic performance as a woman harboring an “alternate personality.” A psychological suspense thriller that unravels the mystery of past memories and the terror creeping into an ordinary family. A unique work that shines with a profound screenplay by James Miki and Kyoko Hara, along with the rich character portrayals characteristic of Showa-era dramas. ■The Woman in the Torn Socks A full-fledged mystery depicting a murder case and complex romantic entanglements set on a college campus. This outstanding suspense drama features a star-studded cast of actresses familiar from two-hour dramas—including Kayo Matsuo, Hitomi Takahashi, and Akiko Kana—and excels in its quietly building psychological portrayal. ■A Sparkle of Excitement! Women Are Good at Marriage! Produced as an extended special to commemorate the 4th anniversary of “Monday Wide Theater,” this much-talked-about production features a star-studded cast including Kaoru Yachigusa, Tatsuro Nadaka (Tatsuo Nadaka), Hitomi Takahashi, and Reiko Nakamura. Kaoru Yachigusa delivers an elegant and nuanced performance as a mature woman grappling with life and love. Set in a marriage agency, the film warmly depicts the inner lives of a man and a woman who are drawn to each other despite societal norms and social constraints. ■The Wives’ Revenge Etsuko Ichihara and Casey Takamine deliver passionate performances with overwhelming presence as a husband who devoted himself entirely to his career at the expense of his family, and a wife who has kept her long-held feelings hidden in her heart. A masterpiece that touches the heart with the poignancy and lingering emotion that follow the wife’s counterattack.
