The post Hiromichi Horikawa – Aku no monsho AKA Brand of Evil (1964) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Based on a novel by Mishima Yukio, The School of Flesh (1965) tells the story of a beautiful designer descended from nobility (Kishida Kyōko), who breaks away from an unhappy marriage after the war to greedily pursue a wild and pure love. Kinoshita Ryō directs this sophisticated tale of romantic intrigue in high style.

Following three glamorous 39-year-old single women in similar circumstances as they enthusiastically discuss each other’s affairs and evaluate men, the novel refreshingly depicts the heroine’s nobility against the backdrop of a subtle psychology of love and the shifting social classes of the era.

First serialized in the magazine Mademoiselle from January to December 1963, it was published as a single volume by Shueisha in February, 1964. Translations have been published in France and China, among other countries. Mishima’s novel has also been adapted as L’école de la chair (1998), directed by Benoît Jacquot and starring Isabelle Huppert.

The tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, this rapturous “ramen western” by Japanese director Juzo Itami is an entertaining, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges—our appetites. Interspersing the efforts of Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low, the sweet, sexy, and surreal Tampopo is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made.

Kinema Jumpo “Best movie”-winner of 2000.

Quote:
Veteran director Shinji Somai lensed this heart-warming family drama about a shabby looking coot claiming to be the father of an elite salaryman. Hiroshi Nirasaki (Koichi Sato) is a securities broker desperately trying to keep the fact that his company is about to go belly-up from his high-strung upper-class wife (Yuki Saito). One day, while walking home from a particularly bad day at work, he gets accosted by an old bum (Tsutomu Yamazaki) who demands to be taken in by his son. Though his mother told him that his dad died when he was born, the drunken geezer knows enough about him and his short order cook mother (Sumiko Fuji) that he is almost convinced. Hiroshi takes him to his large traditional home — the house of his wife’s deceased well-to-do father — to meet his wife Mizuho (Yuki Saito), his snooty mother-in-law (Shiho Fujimura), and his school-aged son (Keita Okada). Dad immediately makes his presence felt by demanding his fatherly rights and by generally acting crude and obnoxious. Mizuho and her mother can’t stand him; Hiroshi’s son on the other hand loves the reckless charm of his new grandfather. This film won the FIPRESCI Award given by the International Film Critics Federation at the 1999 Berlin Film Festival.
