Plot

2LDK is the Japanese abbreviation for a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The title makes perfect sense since the entirety of the film is confined to this one apartment. Living harmoniously, at least at first, in this apartment are two ladies, Nozomi and Lana. Nozomi is the quiet, small-town actress trying to break into the movies. Lana is the ripened and somewhat jaded studio whore who’s desperate for one more chance to be a star.

Early on the film, the two find out that the leading female role in a big-budget yakuza picture has been narrowed down to them. To aggravate an already volatile situation, the two ladies also discover that they’re both sleeping with the same man!

Brian Harris Jun 12 2010 1:10 pm 2LDK is one of those films that initially appear to be a black-comedy but quickly spirals into a tense, bloody thriller. This actually turned out to be my favorite film from the Danger After Dark box set from TLA Releasing’s DVD imprint, Danger After Dark.

Trust me, this film doesn’t get “too deep” nor does it remain comedic for long. As the film gets going you can see the girl’s sanity levels drop as the attacks become more severe. The acting was wonderful.

2LDK is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85) format. The transfer was a bit grainy and whites tended to blur together. It wasn’t horrible but it was noticeable. One thing worth noting is the special features on this release…THERE’S ACTUALLY SPECIAL FEATURES! We’re given a “making of” featurette, an original trailer and a press conference announcing the film and offering up a Q&A session with the cast and filmmaker. It was great fun. I’d highly recommend this film.
