Wakazuma: Ushiro Kara Hiraku

Hanako and Kenkichi's couple have moved to the two Nagaya in the downtown area where Hanako's mother lived until her death. When I easily arranged my luggage and ate soba noodles for delivery, there was a man who went up and started eating soba noodles together without greeting. The next resident, Soka Chihei. Hanako, who was born and raised in downtown, was accustomed to such an unreserved relationship, but Kenkichi, who was raised by Yamanote, was unpleasant.

I Love You

“Double Portrait” and “I Love You” are a paired piece with Akiko Iimura. Both Iimuras play individually as well as a unit. In “Double Portrait” they are never together, but one by one in three points of view, front, side, and back, assigned to the words “I”, “You” and “He/She” respectively. The pronouns rotate with every repetition, for instance, in front view with “You”, then “He/She” and back to “I”. Often the words are destroyed acoustically making them unintelligible. “I Love You” is not a style of confession, but the words, and a linguistic practice using a sentence and shifting the pronouns.

The Miss Pure Love Contest is scheduled to be held soon, and Yamakawa, a regular customer who is obsessed with Kimitaro, an employee of the store, boasts that Kimitaro will be the one chosen again this year. Kimitaro, who had an early shift that day, left Goro, his junior, to handle the rest of the customer service, and got into the car of his girlfriend, Yukio, who had come to pick him up. The two went to see the sea at night and kissed in the car without paying attention to the people around them.

A Visit to Ogawa Productions

A Visit to Ogawa Productions offers a rare insight into the social and cinematic philosophy of one of Japan's best-known documentary film collectives. As the film reveals, Ogawa Productions' in-depth portraits of Japanese society - whether of protest movements or traditional agricultural life - grew out of an unusual commitment to integrate themselves with the communities they filmed, to the extent that their film-making literally became an alternative lifestyle.
