As I started watching this "Koi to Uso", I must confess I was a bit skeptical. Part of me, in fact, was expecting (the proper verb would actually be "fearing") that it would turn out to be one of those "fake distopies" which abound in Western fiction (you know, those crappy stories whose equally crappy message ends up being "OMG we're so lucky that the society we live in isn't like that!" - whereas REAL distopies - from "1984" to "Brave New World" to "Fahrenheit 451" - are supposed to be the exact opposite, showing us WHERE our society will head if no action is taken).
I was underestimating Japanese writers, of course, and I publicly owe them an apology. Because here the "distopian" aspect is just an original pretext to produce an incredibly delicate but at the same time tragically romantic story, very well scripted as well as acted out by the cast. Particular mention, once again, for Morikawa Aoi, who's been my #1 favorite actress for quite some time (and I don't see anyone taking her place anytime soon).
