Koji Fukada's "Love on Trial" marks a shift in his filmmaking style, focusing on a protagonist's deliberate choice that leads to inevitable disruption in her life. Unlike his previous films, where pivotal events arrive suddenly, this narrative explores the slow unraveling of personal and social ties. The story centers around Mai, a member of a pop group in Japan's idol industry, highlighting a found family dynamic amidst the absence of traditional family structures. With themes of foreseen consequences and tension, the film steps away from the typical narratives Fukada is known for.
In "Love on Trial," the repercussions of a pivotal choice are foreseen, creating a tension where the protagonist must confront the consequences of disruption in their life.
Unlike Fukada's past works, which revolve around sudden events leading to catastrophic outcomes, this film explores a more gradual unraveling of social and personal bonds.
