Only on Mondays

Directed by Kō Nakahira

Starring Mariko Kaga, Tanie Kitabayashi

Yuka is a “good-time girl” from Yokohama who is persuaded by her papa to sleep with a foreign business executive so that he can close an important deal. Nakahira presents a shrewdly observed portrait of a modern, sexually assertive woman—an unsettling character for a changing but still patriarchal society.
