Fantastic Fest: HD Trailer for BODY TEMPERATURE (2011)

If you liked LARS AND THE REAL GIRL (2007) starring Ryan Gosling, a great film, then you may like BODY TEMPERATURE… or, you may find yourself in over your head. BODY TEMPERATURE is playing as part of Fantastic Fest 2011, which means it’s not your mama’s quirky romantic comedy. Created with a bizarreness that can only come from Japan, BODY TEMPERATURE looks to be an oddly charming dramedy.

Synopsis: Takaomi Ogata’s BODY TEMPERATURE is a weird surreal drama about a young man who falls in love with a life-size sex doll. Rintaro (Chavetaro Ishizaki) is a lonely guy who lives with a sex doll named Ibuki (played, at times, by Rin Sakuragi). As far as Rintaro is concerned, his relationship is completely normal. He eats with the doll, goes on dates, and enjoys numerous “intimate” moments with her. Once Ritaro decides to “cheat” with a real woman, his latex fantasy life begins to unravel.
