This month’s offerings (both in Japanese with English subtitles):
Feb. 8 —?“What a Wonderful Family!”(108 minutes, 2016). Original title: “Kazoku wa Tsurai yo.”
The latest from renowned filmmaker Yoji Yamada is a joyful and comedic tale of family life in modern Japan. Retired curmudgeon Shuzo (Isao Hashizume) lives a life of relative peace with his doting wife Tomiko (Kazuko Yoshiyuki), their two sons, daughter-in-law and two grandsons.
But when Tomiko’s birthday arrives, and Shuzo has once again forgotten, she asks for a very special birthday gift: a divorce. In complete shock, Shuzo thinks this must be a joke. As it becomes clear that Tomiko is very serious, one by one the family members get involved.
Feb. 22 — “Nagasaki: Memories of My Son”(130 minutes, 2015), selected as the Japanese entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards. Original title: “Haha to Kuraseba.”
Aug. 9, 1948. An aging midwife named Nobuko (Sayuri Yoshinaga) is visited by the ghost of her son Koji (Kazuya Ninomiya), whom she lost to the atomic bomb in Nagasaki. From then on Koji visits his mother frequently to reminisce and catch up on lost time. Their biggest topic of conversation is Koji’s kind-hearted fiancée Machiko (Haru Kuroki), who regularly visited Nobuko over the three years since Koji’s death. Machiko and Koji both seem unable to fully accept what has happened, but Nobuko slowly encourages them to move on.
Yamada’s moving, star-studded film is a complementary response to playwright Hisashi Inoue’s seminal work “The Face of Jizo,” about a father-daughter relationship in the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, and the master director’s self-proclaimed attempt at making the most important film in his life.
Yamada is known for the popular Tora-san series (“Otoko wa Tsurai yo” or “It’s Tough Being a Man”), which starred Kiyoshi Atsumi and consisted of 48 installments from 1969 to 1995. More recently, Yamada directed a trilogy of samurai films: “The Twilight Samurai” (an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film), “The Hidden Blade” and “Love and Honor.”
