I cannot remember the whole plot line, but there is a depressed Asian girl who strips down to naked while a handsome guy tries to talk her out of killing herself. This is driving me a little nuts. Can anyone help identify this flick? Many thanks.

She wanted to get it on with a handsome (cop?) and when he rebuffed her, she wanted to kill herself.

Oh I remember that. I remember it was a film that had three separate stories that intersected. Was it maybe “Lost in Translation?” I don’t think that’s right but I know exactly what you’re talking about.
