2LDK

In Japan, 2LDK stands for an apartment with 2 bedrooms, a living-room, a dining-room, and a kitchen.
Starring Maho Nonami and Eiko Koike, and directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, 2LDK is a Japanese thriller released in 2002.

Lana (Nonami) and Nozomi (Koike) are two young actresses that share an apartment in Tokyo. They both auditioned for the same role in a movie. While they wait for the director's call, their thoughts about each other and how upset they feel about living together start emerging. As their anger grows, a raging battle for the survival of the strongest unleashes.

This is not really a horror movie, but more like a thriller. The beginning of the movie is quite slow as we see how a sense of discomfort grows inside the only two characters in this movie. Their dialogues are not a real reflex of what is happening in their minds, but we, as viewers, get to hear those thoughts which is a key element in the understanding of what is going on with these two girls.
As the movie progresses, we witness how these women start provoking each other in an inexplicit but conscious attempt to create an appropriate moment to release their fury and the negative feelings they bear for the other.
A missing beverage and a spilled bottle of perfume are the starting points for all hell to finally break loose in this tangled plot.
What comes next is a clash in which each girl gets to hit and be beaten up in all kinds of possible ways. The acting up this point is almost perfect and every actress performs at best.
This unusual conflict contains not only a great deal of fist but also drowning, electrocution, chainsaw and basically everything they have at hand.
At the end, after they have taken their anger to the maximum, the most ironic and unexpected event brings the movie to its climax.

This movie is, in my opinion, a must see. If you think it is impossible for a movie to be stared by only two human characters and a parrot, you have not seen 2LDK yet!
