Quote:
Here’s Omori second movie directed for the ATG Studio. It is, as most people would know, the transposition to the screen of Murakami Haruki’s very first and eponymous novel. The novel itself is hard to describe in another way than a “conceptual” novel, as it is obviously no “watakushi shōsetsu (I novel)”. It is quite a unique movie, with an arty-experimental flavor. Some of you might recognize Kuroki Kazuo playing a little role as a psychologist.

Plot :
The narrator « I » (Kobayashi Kaoru), a student in his twenties is coming back in Kobe for the summer vacation. During the summer, he’ll catch up with his old buddy whose nickname is Rat (Makigami Koichi), talk the talk with Jay (Sakata Akira) the bartender, and meet a mysterious twin girl (Shingyōji Kimie). Mixing up temporality, dreams, memories, present actions and future ones all together the story is very close to what could be called a patch-work.

Reishu quits a job on a US military base; while mulling over his future he catches snakes, sticks numbers on ants and gets village girl Nabi pregnant. But then he is ‘hidden by God’ and in this enfeebled condition is savaged by a wild rainbow pig.

Chokichi Kuwahata was once a leading actor, but he is ravaged by dementia and old age now. His daughter and the men in her life go against his wishes and place him in a retirement home. He slips away one day and meets another offspring from a different union. Will this lead to his improvement or deterioration? What does it all have to do with Shakespeare?

The post Masahiro Kobayashi – Umibe no Ria AKA Lear on the Shore (2017) 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.

The post Shun Nakahara – Coquille (1998) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

review from Letterboxd
21st century modern love in 80s Japan. carried out with absolute smoothness, confidence, and nuance. The male protagonist: Choosing to leave after having conducted enough inward reflection (this is surprisingly non-masculine, even with a motorcycle). Somewhat radical, really showed a unique “nonconformist’s” ideal of what love relationship can be. Everything done right, beats Tampopo in almost every sense (except food).

Quote:
I haven’t watched it yet and there seems to be very little information available, but from what I understand, it’s a bleak story of two alienated youths (Morishita Aiko and Nagashima Toshiyuki) preoccupied with entrance exams and suicide. In short, the kind of thing one might expect from Nakagami and Fujita Toshiya.
