From the award-winning director of Drive My Car (Ryûsuke Hamaguchi) comes three tales of coincidence from three separate women; an unexpected love triangle, a failed seduction trap and an encounter that results from a misunderstanding.

In this altogether delightful triptych of stories, Hamaguchi again proves he’s one of contemporary cinema’s most agile dramatists of modern love and obsession.

Whether charting the surprise revelation of a blossoming love triangle, a young couple’s revenge plot against an older teacher gone awry, or a case of mistaken romantic identity, Hamaguchi details the sudden reversals, power shifts, and role-playing that define relationships new and old. 

Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy is both ironic and tender, a lively and intricately woven work of imagination that questions whether fate or our own vanities decide our destinies.

“Ingenious, sparklingly acted and thoroughly entertaining” The Guardian
