The post Shigeyuki Yamane – Gobanchô Yûgirirô AKA May Love Be Restored (1980) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
A special effects filled fantasy adventure, in which an 8 year old boy encounters an ancient samurai warrior who is only six inches tall.

Quote:
The New York Times Review
An 8-year-old child finds a 6-inch tall samurai. The little boy is having his troubles with contemporary life and the ancient warrior, lost in the 20th century, is looking for a place to die. They consequently strike up a friendship and in the end the boy grows up and the samurai grows young and, like the Tom Thumb of legend, poles himself away in a teacup. Though not much is made of the attendant allegory, lots is made of this bonding of the generations and all the special effects necessary to illustrate the differences in height and age. Some are, indeed, quite marvelous – a friendly cat towering like an elephant, a bad crow looming like a berserk jet, a trip down a sewer with full detail. These, however, no matter how splendid, are there to make us realize the truly marvelous of the everyday. Director Nobuhiko Obayashi is a real fantasist. Through fast cutting, witty detail and extraordinary care, he effortlessly tosses off his prodigious events and turns a kid movie into emotion-packed magic.

Another stunning Tuesday Suspense Theater movie from Obayashi. I love how there is some music playing almost every second of the film. That gives the movie an special feeling of drama and I think of it as another way to telling the viewer like Hey, don’t forget you’re watching a movie!

And the fact that this is a cat monster movie about making a cat monster movie featuring Takeko Irie, also known as the cat monster actress, and her daughter playing a character inspired in herself! I will sure give a rewatch to this after I watch some of Takako Irie’s cat monster movies.

The post Nobuhiko Ôbayashi – Reibyo densetsu AKA Legend of the Cat Monster (1983) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The story of two middle-aged persons of opposite sex who are attending a reunion after many years of absence and unfamiliarity takes a turn when through flashbacks we see the love and crush that existed, but was never acted upon, back in those heady high school days. It is, however, better late than never.

Quote:
Kaido is a professional pickpocket who works the Tokyo subway with his young foster-daughter, Rei: She lets herself be groped while Kaido relieves the groper of his wallet. More often than not they’re observed by a middle-aged cop, who generally lets Kaido go free. Rei is unsettled when Kaido takes on a young street punk, Kazuki, as an apprentice — with instructions to make Kaido stop drinking. Kazuki, however, would like to go into business with Rei.
