Intolerable Cruelty

I can understand why Japanese title of this movie is not katakana or simple translation of "Intolerable Cruelty". First both of "Intolerable" and "Cruelty" are not common English word for Japanese, so if you just write in Katakana, nobody will understand. Second, if you translate this into Japanese, the sound is so scary - 許し難い残酷. Nobody can imagine that it is actually comedy!

Anyway, this movie is romantic comedy directed by Coen brother. And I, unfortunately, don't like this much.
