    • Trivia
      Isabel Coixet claims that she came up with the idea of Rinko Kikuchi's character while promoting The Secret Life of Words (2005) in Tokyo. Coixet was taking pictures during a walk through the city. She arrived at a fish market and tried to take one of a girl who was cleaning fish. The girl refused to get photographed, so Coixet started imagining possible reasons for that refusal.
    • Goofs
      After David joins Ryu at the Love Hotel after cutting his hand, Rinko Kikuchi (Ryu) is laying on a couch. Her shoulder is covered in the two close ups but largely uncovered after the cut where the camera is further from her.
    • Crazy credits
      After the final credits there's a short scene with the mysterious plant person in the subway tunnel.

    Not Terrible but Not Good
    I found this movie more sad than interesting. The girl is slender and has nice bangs so I would nail her, but no more than that because it make no sense really.
