Nakatani Miki returns to horror in Kurosawa Kiyoshi's "Loft"

[image]

In her first appearance in a horror film since "Ringu 2" seven years ago, actress Nakatani Miki (30) stars alongside Toyokawa Etsushi (44) in Kurosawa Kiyoshi's long-awaited "Loft."

The film explores the primal fear that human beings possess, and is centered around the tale of a 1000-year-old mummy. Nakatani plays a writer who witnesses the mummy's resurrection in the home of a mysterious university professor (Toyokawa).

Although she is now known for her versatility as an actress, with recent roles as a working woman, a mother, and a prostitute in a period film, Nakatani was initially saddled with a pure, squeaky-clean image early in her career, before a string of successful horror films in 1998, "Ringu," Ringu 2" and "Rasen," gave her the opportunity to show her range. Her comical performance in TBS detective drama "Keizoku" was widely praised, and in 2000 she was awarded the Japan Film and Television Producer's Association's Elan D'or prize for her significant achievements.

"Loft" is Nakatani's first horror film in seven years, and director Kurosawa cast her because "Her vitality and subtly mysterious gaze was perfect for the lead role." The movie received its world premiere at last October's Pusan International Film Festival, and is already scheduled to open in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and England following its Japan release.

Nakatani is currently appearing in South Korean film "Rikidozan," and has also been cast in "Kamikaze Girls" director Nakashima Tetsuya's "Memories of Matsuko" (Kiraware Matsuko no Issho) which opens on May 27th. (source: Sanspo)

"Loft" synopsis:

In the middle of a career slump, writer Reiko (Nakatani) moves to the suburbs of Tokyo. In the home of her neighbour, university professor Yoshioka (Toyokawa), she witnesses a mummy coming to life. It was once a woman who for some reason fell into a pond 1000 years ago, and is now severely decomposed. The mummy appears in Reiko's nightmares and her physical condition deteriorates, further preventing her from writing, which leads her to plagiarise an entire novel she found in her room when she moved in entitled "Dearest One," written by the previous occupant... Who is Yoshioka? And what is the truth behind the mummy?

Watching Merry Christmas in Summer.


You know Nakatani Miki's a knockout when, despite the frumpy country-bumpkin clothes and bad hairdo they have her dressed in for this dorama, she STILL looks beautiful.

Manatsu no Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas in Summer)

It was a TV series that Miki did in 2000. I love that show.

And yeah, she goes through most of it wearing either baggy overalls, or formless shifts... and she's still the most beautiful woman on TV.
