2x2 is another title of the movie. The french Avec Mon Mari suggests its closeness to Eric Rohmer's style of filmmaking better. A lot of affectionate talking, almost uninspired shots (as in Rohmer's late work), a play with the colors of the protagonist's clothes. Sets are rather documentary, sound's quality too amateurish. Ren Osugi, whom we know of Kitano's Hana-bi (in the wheel-chair), has a rather funny scene, when he fondles the boring female protagonist. Besides, this is a movie about the illusions and deceptions in human relationships, with some insight into modern Japanese behaviour.
