A red-haired doll, a fogged-up glass, and the sounds of summer mingle with the ticking of a grandfather clock. Miki (Serena Motola), a 27-year-old woman working at an architectural firm, wakes up in her small apartment, pulled from memories still clouded by sleep. Miki&#8217;s world is calm and strange, but it will soon be upended by a transformative experience that will change her forever. Miki&#8217;s life, a kind of fog blending memories, dreams, and reality, begins to collapse. As she pieces together what happened to her, memories of a wolf bite resurface, but no one believes her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>When you open the door<\/em> (\u3068\u3073\u3089\u3092\u3042\u3051\u305f\u3089), Eriko Katagiri offers a film about female isolation that relies on slowness and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Slow and uncomfortable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When you open the door<\/em> explores female isolation and alienation with a haunting singularity. The film imposes a cottony languor, establishing a hypnotic rhythm that is as uncomfortable as it is contagious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1.jpg\" alt=\"When You Open the Door - Lent et inconfortable\" class=\"wp-image-60075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Lent-et-inconfortable-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Miki (Serena Motola)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this slowness does not serve the film well, as it becomes almost sleep-inducing. While the discomfort felt is a great success, the viewer eventually breaks out of this hypnosis due to a lack of interest. Too little happens to hold the viewer&#8217;s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, Serena Motola, inhabited by her role as Miki, delivers a striking physical performance, fueled by the haunted reminiscences of a painful past. Despite the scarcity of dialogue, she displays a wide range of emotions while keeping the viewer at a voluntary distance. Katagiri&#8217;s talent asserts itself here in her ability to externalize the interiority of her characters, using editing and association to draw us into her universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Werewolves<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who accept being consumed by Miki\u2019s spirit will soon find themselves gripped by one of the most unique retellings of the werewolf myth ever brought to the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1.jpg\" alt=\"When You Open the Door - Loups-Garous\" class=\"wp-image-60071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/When-You-Open-the-Door-Loups-Garous-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vampire myth has been revisited, as has the zombie\u2019s. Now it is the werewolf&#8217;s turn to be given a new lease on life. The Japanese director takes a great risk by stepping away from werewolf movie clich\u00e9s. Forget the great violence, forget the brutal transformation into a bloodthirsty monster. Here, the lycanthrope blends with the world of metaphysics. Is the creature real, or is it part of the character&#8217;s interiority? The damage is more psychological than physical. But this choice is coupled with a lack of terror in a film that is fundamentally intended to be a horror film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When you open the door<\/em> veers into magical realism and forgets its initial promises. The result is a film that does not scare or create knots in the stomach, but rather a work that brings something new to a theme that hasn&#8217;t seen anything refreshing in over 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When you open the door<\/em> (Tobira o aketara) is presented at Fantasia on July 25, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u300c\u72fc\u306b\u565b\u307e\u308c\u3066\u300d[I was bitten by a wolf.] The film opens like a dream.
