Where to Watch This Week’s New Movies, from ‘Bottoms’ to ‘Scrapper’ So the film feels much longer than its 126 minutes, and relies solely on the assumption that we’ll be deeply invested in this lead character and get some vicarious thrill from seeing her throw off the restrictive shackles of her place in society and take what is not hers -in love and in material gain. But it is also a remarkably plodding telling of a familiar story, one that unfolds in so linear a fashion that it feels oddly overexplained, only ever operating on a single level, entirely without subtext or subplot. It boasts a locally well-known lead in stage and screen actress Rie Miyazawa, plus a springy, culturally and temporally relevant-feeling plot about the corrupting lure of money. “Pale Moon,” the fourth feature from director Daihachi Yoshida, is certainly more slickly made than some of the other competition titles here.

She suddenly changes her mind and tries to walk out the door. They stood together face to face in the train. When he turns around he sees her approaching him. A train whizzes by between them and she’s gone. The next day he saw her again across the platform, the opposite way of where she was going. What was she feeling? Was she scared? She lost him when she got on the train. As she went down the steps, she realized he was following her. She didn’t give it a second thought, thinking he was just greeting her.
