Named Best Japanese Film of the Year by the Japan Times and noted Japanese film authority Donald Richie, Vibrator is a remarkably affecting road movie brimming with cathartic intensity and bold eroticism.Directed by international rising star Ryuichi Hiroki (I Am an S&M Writer, Tokyo Trash Baby, It's Only Talk) and based on the acclaimed novel by Mari Akasaka, Vibrator follows Rei (the extraordinary Shinobu Terashima), a thirty-something freelance writer wrestling with psychological instability and a penchant for booze. One night while shopping for beer at an urban mini-mart, Rei runs into Okabe (Nao Omori, of Takashi Miike's Ichi the Killer), a handsome young trucker pit stopping for gas and munchies. Impulsive and captivated, she climbs into his rig for an impromptu road trip. But what begins as a one night pick-up becomes a transformative journey of sexual and emotional self-discovery.Psychologically raw and surprisingly uplifting, Vibrator represents a creative milestone for director Hiroki. With its frank approach to sexuality, relationships and personal liberation, the film is, as Tom Mes of the online cult Japanese film journal Midnight Eye writes, one of the most universally resonant and downright important statements cinema today can hope to deliver.

Rei Hayakawa, a lonely, bulimic freelance writer with a drinking problem, wanders into a convenience store. She's swaddled in her coat and scarf, while her thoughts - of alienation, of hunger, of the need for gin and white wine - drift in via stream-of-consciousness. A trucker named Okabe walks in, deliberately grazes her behind, and at the same time, Rei's cell phone, set on vibrate, goes off over her heart. Rei impulsively gets into Okabe's truck with him - and stays. Suddenly she finds herself embarking on a road journey across the wintry landscape of Japan with a complete, and possibly dangerous, stranger. Can the physical relationship that develops between them give Rei what she needs, and can she ever free herself from her self-destructive tendencies? Both parties are wounded, guarded and distant -- can they learn to trust each other? Author Mari Akasaka brings her trademark wordplay and vivid imagery to this compelling story of an unlikely pairing set against the bleak backdrop of Japan's highways. Adapted for the screen in 2003, Vibrator has also been made into a film.
