Editor’s Perspective: “Red” (2020) succinctly captures the essence of a romance film while avoiding clichés. Yukiko Mishima masterfully crafts a narrative that emphasizes character development over superficial storytelling. The performances from Kaho, Satoshi Tsumabuki, and Tasuku Emoto are authentic and relatable. The 2-hour and 3-minute runtime is fitting, offering a balanced exploration of the themes. Audience reactions have been varied; however, it’s worth watching for its ambiance and emotional depth. The tagline—“That evening forced her to choose her destiny.”—effectively summarizes the film’s core message. If the storyline resonates with you, consider adding it to your viewing list.
