距離橋口亮輔上一部電影《生有時死有時》已經過了七年，《戀人們》是2015年公認最佳日本電影。導演主持演員工作坊計劃，為非職業演員量身打造三段愛情故事的劇本，訴說在現代社會裡相愛與失去的痛苦。一位莫名喪妻的男人，一位被丈夫忽視、熱愛畫漫畫的妻子，一位得不到愛的菁英同性戀律師，三人的日常生活深刻體現日本社會的疏離。素人主角與知名性格演員同台較勁，激盪出令人著迷的演技。

Love hurts, and no one understands this more than the protagonists of Three Stories of Love, director Hashiguchi Ryusuke’s long-awaited follow-up to All Around Us. Created from an actors’ workshop led by Hashiguchi, the film weaves together three quietly moving stories of heartbreak: A bridge inspector who still grieves his late wife three years after her death, a housewife longs to flee her humdrum marriage, and a gay lawyer who reunites with a man from his past. Delicately crafted and achingly humanistic, Three Stories of Love was named the best Japanese film of 2015 by Kinema Junpo, Japan’s oldest film magazine.
