The Underground Water (1996) comes as an ode to water in its forms and to that connected sounds, ice, drinking, mirroring, bathing, washing, pearling on a window, raindrops, reflecting architecture and grey trees. Dry leaves, wooden floors and a young man smoking a cigarette. Windows and doors are preparing the framing. The wind is coming up. Will it rain today? A young woman is pressing her face to a TV screen, all in blue but it is not water refreshing her. In her eyes, you see some hidden memories and dirty tennis balls lying on the street sucking up the drops of the rain.

Early super8 location hunting sketches for what would then turn out to be the feature-lenght film "Squareworld" (1995), the sound recordings of this work where used in that film and in "Aquarium City" (1996). The original concept of "Suburban Midnight Serial Murder Case" was an over 5 hours long film that never actually developed into its final form, however its overall darkness and the core idea of creating a tale of complete darkness are to be seen as a prelude to the aforementionted 16mm films.
Saddled with a slavish, boring laundry job and no social life whatsoever, Kikuchi rarely leaves his bare apartment except to follow home and spy on a supermarket check-out girl. But there's no one he can tell about his secret passion, least of all his gawping, work-shy colleague. Even a stray kitten can't alleviate Kikuchi's frustration; clearly, something's got to give... This first film by a former manga illustrator, a terse and enigmatic blend of black comedy and psychodrama, has been compared to both Eraserhead and Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman; another point of reference might be the slow, deceptively banal domestic dramas of Ozu, with whom Iwamoto shares a penchant for a mostly static camera, simple compositions, and an eye for the absurd details of everyday life.

Low Budget Japanese Films Split Into Two Parts: Dream Demon Psycho Hunter D (lol) This work was created as a sample of how to make 8mm movies, and to be used as a reference for those who are just beginning to make 8mm movies.

Film about a schoolgirl and what not.
The performances of the actors, who are by no means the best, are humorous and tasteful, and their individual atmospheres are brought to life, perhaps due to the fact that they have made two films with almost the same cast. Daisuke Fukuhara, who plays Fukuhara, gives a particularly good, natural performance as a man who is completely off his rocker. There is also a distinctive sense of rhythm in the time-lapse explanations that connect the short shots, making this film unique in that it is somehow stylish and at the same time funny.

Goodbye, two-country towns. Shuhei and Midori, two poor siblings without parents, manage to live together in a small apartment but have long been urged by their aunt in Tokyo to move in with them. The younger sister is reluctant, the older brother gives up. A small incident occurs between them that makes them aware of the opposite sex, and their respective summers pass. And the day they leave for Tokyo is the day of a summer festival in the country town where the siblings were born and raised. The film's direction has the ability to plant the emotions and background of each of them firmly on the screen with everyday movements and straightforward dialogue. The level of acting by the actors is high. It was a summer when we felt cool with barley tea and watermelon instead of air-conditioning. The same nostalgia and vitality are present throughout the film.

First-year junior high students Mai and Miyuki naturally huddle together during their transitional year from classmates of elementary school. Once in their more metropolitan junior high school, however, they are soon introduced to a wider and more exciting exposure to the world.
