Welcome to the Quiet Room: Where you take the red *and* blue pill and have yourself a party.
Welcome to the Quiet Room
She's a pill-popping insomniac sent to a psychiatric ward. They're the quirky mental patients who teach her about life, love, and setting yourself on fire. Together, much-needed therapy!
This is an awesome, awesome movie. It completely defies genre tags -- there's no way to classify it. There's humor and craziness and chaos, a lot of drama, a little sadness, the emotional issues you'd expect from a mental hospital, and everything wrapped up with a squishy core of friendship and a haze of weed.
Welcome to the quiet room!
With top accommodations...
World-famous chefs...
Where everybody knows your name...
And the doors are all locked.
Asuka didn't try to commit suicide. She didn't. She was just, you know, stressed out at work, and she decided to let loose for awhile, and the drugs seemed like a good way to unwind, and the alcohol was delicious. What do you mean, found in a puddle of her own vomit?
Well, she's fucked now. She's stuck in a psych ward because her boyfriend, her only legal connection, has taken his parrot and gone to Myanmar. Bad luck, Asuka.
At least everyone welcomes her with open arms!
The people are so friendly!
They even sneak her chocolate. ("How'd you get that in?" "If I told you, you wouldn't want to eat it.")
Asuka's best friend in the joint is a self-destructive, darkly funny anorexic. Asuka thinks she's found a kindred spirit -- neither of them scream or throw chairs -- not realizing that maybe everyone in the psych ward deserves to be there, including herself.
Poor Asuka. ):
Ryo plays the head nurse, a hardcore woman armed with needles who doesn't give an inch. Asuka thinks of her as "stainless steel."
...and muses that she's probably from the stainless alien planet, only descended to earth to steal her soul and make her stainless too.
But remember, she totally doesn't deserve to be committed.
IMPROMPTU SONG AND DANCE NUMBER. It's just as awesome as it sounds.
Be sure to finish the credits (to the fade-to-black) for the best laugh of the movie. XD
