this be extremely aggravating . michael pitt be a terrible actor and sorry and but it true . i do not even find him in the least bit attractive . he look like a pathetic and greasy emo kid . he play a man who travel out to japan to obtain silk worm and while his beautiful wife be leave at home . in the mean time and he somehow manage to fall in lust with a japanese chick . they never really talk or screw each other and though . instead and she offer one of her fellow asian girl for him to sleep with . he doesn not appear to feel guilty over his choice to cheat on his wife . overall and i would have to agree with what a lot of others have write . it terribly bore and mostly about the asian fetish stereotype that hollywood love to put out and impress upon american . he have a perfectly beautiful and smart and and loyal wife back at home and but all he want to do be submerge himself into the sexual lust over the ever silent and love me long time girl . this story have little to do with love and but mostly just lust and infatuation . it just make the movie all the more pathetic and uninteresting . this be not worth the money i spend to rent it and even . i would suggest another movie if youre look to watch something in depth and interesting .
