A momentary lapse in the frenzied disorder escalating uncontrollably from the urban machine, two young women detach themselves from the city's pulsating rhythm and flow: one, a musician, confides to her parents on the phone her dream may not be as attainable as previously hoped; the other, a callgirl, patiently awaits for her driver as she flits in and out of the phone conversation unfolding just feet away from her, the realizations made and the desires to quit striking a chord as she sips on her green tea through a straw. This precursory distraction, a fleeting moment of intense introspection, distinguishes “Detouring Blue”'s ravishing torpor with neither the promise nor the hope of resolution. Instead, Ryo Kimura submerges his cast and his audience deep into an unfulfilling emptiness, one where escape feels permanently out of reach.
