Alexandra Daddario searches for love in trailer for Lost Girls & Love Hotels

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Based on the novel by Catherine Hanrahan, LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS stars Alexandra Daddario as an American English teacher living in Japan who gets involved with Kazu (Takehiro Hira), a dashing Yakuza. The passionate tale of love and lust chronicles their affair as it threatens to tear them apart and reshape them amid Tokyo's landscape of dive bars, alleyways, and three-hour love hotels. You can check out the trailer for the film above, which certainly looks promising.

Director William Olsson spoke about what LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS means to him, saying, "At the Kiyomizudera temple in Kyoto, there is a tomb called Buddhas Womb. As you enter the tomb, you walk into total darkness with only a handrail to guide you. You walk and walk until you are completely deprived of any visual sense. Then, finally, you start to see the light at the end of a tunnel, and you come upon an ancient stone illuminated by a small hole in the roof. The lesson is simple. In order to see the light, you first have to experience the dark. And that is ultimately what Lost Girls is for me. A story of being reborn. A journey through the dark to the light. Just like the movie itself, which I am thrilled to bring into the light." In addition to Alexandra Daddario and Takehiro Hira, the film also stars Carice van Houten
