Quote:
Kato (Ittoku Kishibe) is a small time TV producer. He has a wife Masako (Naoko Otani), and a young son Taro. Kato also has a friend Yamazaki (Akira Emoto) who he knew since college. Yamazaki has a girl friend Riko (Eri Ishida) who lives with her younger sister Yuko (Hitomi Takahashi) who’s an actress. Yamazaki is a lyric writer/womanizer and he starts to have an affair with Masako, but he’s still going out with Riko. Riko really isn’t too enamored with Yamazaki or to any man as for that matter. She has some deep rooted distrust for men in general. One day, Katoh comes home when Masako and Yamazaki is having an affair. Masako is in a skimpy negligee and claims that Yamazaki “just happened to drop by in the morning after getting drunk”. Amazing thing is Katoh just pretends to believe this story, but he knows. Masako believes her marriage with Kato is over, but Kato has no desire to get a divorce. Masako starts to live with Yamazaki, but Kato goes to his house to pick Masako up. Riko shows up at Yamazaki’s house, and sees that Masako is there. She understands that Yamazaki is fooling around with Masako too. She goes home and finds Yamazaki with her sister Yuko. Riko thinks she’s is pregnant but doesn’t know who the father is.

His newly found life unravels when his benefactor asks him to return to his former lifestyle and retrieve his son from the grasps of Gorozo’s yakuza family before tragedy can befall him. As Monjiro, superstar Nakamura Atsuo gives the performance of a lifetime as he reprises his signature role.

‘Keiho’ is a fascinating thriller dealing with memory, guilt and justice. A young actor is arrested for a brutal double murder. He confesses but pretty soon the possibility of him being mentally ill and therefore legally incompetent comes to the fore. A young female psychiatrist working on the case (called Kafka, interestingly enough!) becomes convinced that he is faking his apparent schizophrenia. All very good and ‘Primal Fear’ so far, but after that things get much more complicated, ambiguous and interesting. ‘Keiho’ is strongly acted, well written, and imaginatively directed, and will keep you guessing right until its’ final scenes. Supposedly based on a true case, unresolved at the time of the movies original release, this is a real gem that beats 90% of Hollywood’s lame and predictable thrillers at their own game. Try and see this one!

Virginal 19-year-old Shokichi goes to the small island Maja-jimais, to collect the bones of his father Shoji, a man he never knew, which have been left to bleach in the sun at the foot of the cliff where the sea washed them up. But Shokichi is accompanied by three hookers who take the trip as a vacation – at least, until they all go down with food poisoning, probably from eating bad pig’s liver.

Quote:
In the early 1990s a spate of hospital films were released in Japan, including Takita Yojiro’s two Let’s Go to the Hospital comedies, Itami Juzo’s drama The Last Dance and Ichikawa Jun’s Dying at a Hospital, shot in a semi-documentary style almost as straightforward as its title. Perhaps these films reflected the greying of Japanese society or, as Ichikawa suggested in an interview, a world afflicted by famine, AIDS and environmental destruction. Working from a book by Yamasaki Fumio, a practicing doctor, Ichikawa follows the progress of five cancer patients from the time they are admitted to the hospital to the end. For much of the film, we are literally standing at the foot of their beds, watching their lives unfold from the middle distance. By making his camera a detached observer, Ichikawa avoids the sentimentality endemic to the hospital genre, while creating a quietly elegiac mood. Instead of wringing tears with close-ups of suffering patients, Ichikawa shows us their illness as part of a larger stream of life. Also, instead of satritizing the Japanese medical establishment, a la Itami, he presents his doctors and nurses as caring professionals who happen to fallible human beings. (Except for the doctor, played by Kishibe Ittoku, all the nurses and other hospital staff are amateurs enacting their real-life roles). There are stories, but no plot. An old couple, both dying of cancer, meet for the last time in the wife’s hospital room. A 40-year-old salaryman complains bitterly that he is not getting better, despite months of treatment, and asks his doctor to tell him the truth. (His doctor, as is still common practice in Japan, has been telling him comforting lies). There are no heroes, no villains. We do, however, see the young salaryman expressing his regret at leaving his three young children – and witness his joy on his last visit home. The hospital scenes are interspersed with montages of ordinary people doing ordinary things: hunting for clams at the seaside, watching a baseball game, dancing at a Bon festival. They are images that express, with a gesture or glance, the beauty and preciousness of life. Ichikawa filmed them over a period of months in various locations around Japan. They are among the best moments in the film. In a voice-over, the doctor says he wants the hospital be a place where patients come to, not die, but live fully to the end. Dying at a Hospital shows us, with a piercing simplicity, exactly what he means. Mark Schilling
