With its shades of Douglas Sirk melodrama and Wong Kar-Wai melancholy, THE SHAPE OF NIGHT is a stunningly beautiful tragedy and an essential rediscovery of the Japanese New Wave. Yoshie, a young prostitute, finds herself embroiled in a tragic love triangle between her abusive pimp boyfriend, Eiji, and a recent client that’s fallen in love with her. Torn between the passions of her past and a second chance for a new life, Yoshi is faced with an impossible choice when she’s offered the chance to run away and leave Eiji behind for good.
