Umbrella: You can't always get what you want

"I never wanted to destroy the peaceful life I shared with the man I was living with…"

This film was directed by Hiroyuki Yanase, who also directed Obsessed with Champon. Although its theme and story differ completely from his previous work, presenting a serious romantic drama, it remains infused with the director’s characteristically relaxed and easygoing style. The result is a distinctly 1980s atmosphere light, mellow, and refreshingly unconventional. The film is particularly notable for Kinoshita’s graceful camerawork and Mōri’s outstanding title and credit design.

K-20: The Fiend with Twenty Faces

In an alternate version of 1949 Japan in which World War II never happened, the Japanese capital of Teito is home to both an ultra rich upper class and the dirt poor masses. The city is thrown into a state of panic when a phantom thief called “The Kaijin (Fiend) with 20 Faces” (K-20 for short) begins to use his mysterious abilities to steal from the rich and give to the poor. One day a circus acrobat named Heikichi Endo (Takeshi Kaneshiro) is framed for K-20’s crimes and becomes determined to clear his name. He teams up with K-20’s next target, a wealthy duchess named Yoko Hashiba (Takako Matsu) and her detective fiancé (Toru Nakamura), to take K-20 down once and for all.
