video source from other February 10, 2007 Man, Woman and The Wall has the uncanny ability to maintain art house themes while blending in pure weird exploitive elements. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Ryo moves in to an apartment and finds that the walls of this apartment are quite thin and he is able to hear the sounds in the apartment next door. Be it when she goes to the restroom, drinks a beer after a hot bath, or makes love to her boyfriend, Ryo listens and often masturbates to the images of his neighbor that float through his mind. In these early scenes, before Ryo actually knows what Satsuki’s room looks like, he pictures it as being ultra girly with tons of stuffed animals and bright colors. Therefore, he is a bit surprised to discover that her room is quite plain. Just when you think this film might go down the exploit lane, they twist it around and create some relationship building you do not see coming.
