'Earthquake Bird'— now out on Netflix, is a textbook erotic thriller, in which an initial attraction between people gives way to something dark and disturbing.
, a relatively cohesive and thought-provoking movie, is one of the better additions to this much-beloved genre. is no exception. What happened to Lily? Did the perpetually gloomy Lucy have anything to do with it? And, for the love of the Bronx Zoo, what is an earthquake bird? Lucy is deliberately isolated person. She works as a translator at a Japanese law firm, far from her six brothers and parents in Sweden. She plays the cello in a string quartet with middle-aged Japanese women.
There are valid reasons not to trust Teiji’s tale of woe. First of all, “my ex disappeared without a trace” ismore concerning than the textbook, “my ex is crazy.” Also, though Teiji attests he doesn’t take photos of people, he has a cache of photos of both Satchi and Lucy in a box of drawers, which Lucy discovers – andThen, Lucy’s British expat friend Bob introduces her to Lily Bridges, an American unmoored by Japanese customs.
After trying to convince Lily to run away with him , Teiji then tries to strangle her. Thanks to a well-placed glass vase, she kills him. Still, she came shockingly close to losing her life. It’s not a Netflix movie without a strand of the supernatural! That’s why Lucy has those unexplained hallucinations in the subway station. It addsto an otherwise bleak story of domestic violence and unnecessary murder, the kind of crime that peppers newspapers and has been a staple in Lucy’s life.
