Gekitotsu! Satsujin ken (The Street Fighter, 1974)

"But don't worry, Mutaguchi, there's an evil code of conduct - and I'm very tight-lipped."

US importers were looking for a new Bruce Lee after #the star's untimely death‚ and this was the film they decided would revitalise the genre; dubbed and cut it was a smash hit (and became the #first film to earn an X rating in the US for violence alone). it's easy to see why; this is thrilling stuff even if Chiba's amoral #mercenary is a world away from Lee's dignified everyman (in the first act he literally sells a woman as a sex slave; you'd never have #caught one of Lee's characters doing that). the action is spectacular and grotesque‚ including a cut to x ray for a man's shattering skull #(the origin of those fatality screens in fighting games). it also leant it's name to the Street Fighter game series in an unofficial #capacity. lurid and nasty but a lot of fun and by god Chiba was a hell of a performer: where Lee was all about speed and control‚ Chiba is #like a wild animal‚ running up people's bodies and fucking them up while he snarls and pants. an acquired taste perhaps but i dig it #and it's not just action! Chiba brings real pathos to scenes of loss in the last act‚ and his murky motivations make for intriguing viewing

Gripping undercurrents swirl beneath the surface of this intoxicating genre timebomb that springs more whiplash twists than an amphetamine-sponsored Chubby Checker convention. Former ping-pong club owner Santoshi and his feisty young daughter Kaede are drowning in despair and struggling in near poverty after the traumatic demise of her mother. When Santoshi expresses an interest in a 3 million ¥…

Two pages from (Tokyo) Otsuka Odori 1957, with participants: Temari 手まり, Tomoyakko 友奴, Fukumaru 福丸, Emiko 恵美子, Chôchô 蝶々, Okaru おかる, Jirô 二郎, Yaegiku 八重菊, Satoko 左斗子, Chiharu ちはる and Sayoko 小夜子. Otsuka has always been one of the smaller Hanamachi since its establishment in 1919. It is said that at its peak in the early Showa era, 700 Geisha called Otsuka their home. Apparently, this number dropped drastically even before 1945 - according to Wikipedia, Otsuka had 260 Geisha in 1931. 150 Geisha in 1965, 50 in 1977, around 10 in 2008, three in 2018. As of 2023, one Geisha remains in Otsuka.

Kaette kita onna hissatsu ken (The Return of the Sister Street Fighter, 1975)

"Koryu... the end is near. As my parting gift, I'll let you see something - to show that all your efforts were a waste of time."

Quartier lointain de Jirô Taniguchi

J'ai enfin lu mon premier Manga, Quartier lointain. Jirô Taniguchi raconte l'histoire d'un père de famille de 48 ans qui se retrouve renvoyé dans le temps à 14 ans, tiraillé entre nostalgie, l'envie d'en profiter et celle de corriger le futur.

Ce que j’en disais : « Dans le roman, le manga et le long-métrage, le personnage principal (Tsunéo Hase ) est largement inspiré par le destin Tsuneo Hasegawa. Mais qui était donc au juste cet alpiniste japonais ? Sa vie tout entière a été dédiée à la montagne. Il réalise son premier exploit à ses 30 ans, en 1977, devenant le premier Japonais à gravir en Suisse la face nord du… ».

📚 Extrait du livre « Une histoire de l’exploration : neiges et glaces, des pôles à l’Himalaya ». Un ouvrage que j'ai écrit paru aux éditions Glénat.

Review "The Naked Island" ("Hadaka no shima")

I watched "The Naked Island" directed by Kaneto Shindô. The main actors are Nobuko Otowa as Toyo, the mother,

Taiji Tonoyama as Senta, the father, Shinji Tanaka as Tarô - the elder son, and Masanori Horimoto as Jirô - the younger son. These four make up a family that grows sweet potatoes on an island not far from the mainland (well, I assume it is one of the major islands of the Japanese chain of islands). This island has no water for drinking. It sits in the inland sea. Every day the parents make at least two trips to the mainland to get buckets of water to bring back to the island. Each of them, together or individually, carries up two large buckets that sit on a piece of wood that rests on their shoulder. They have to carry the water-filled buckets up a narrow path which goes up a very tall hill to where they live and cultivate plants . This does not look like an easy task. . It is almost a Sisyphean task. They do reach the top but they have to do it over and over again every day. There are some side characters. The younger son goes to school on the mainland. There is a teacher and a classroom of kids. Later there appears a priest. One thing of note for this film is that there is no dialogue. None. There is background music which is repeated throughout the movie. It is pleasant at first but you begin to wonder about it as it gets repeated day after day. There is also some singing by the school children once, I believe. So actually the names of the two boys may be in the script but you never hear their names. One does wonder why they don't have a cistern system to catch rain when it does rain or some mechanical device or conveyance to get the water up the hill. No reason is given. The movie goes through four seasons and you see some of their daily activities, although the main activity relates to the growing, harvesting and use of the sweet potatoes and of some type of grain and other normal daily activities including caring for some animals they have, meals, etc. This film is in black and white. The setting is really quite lovely. The viewer sees the acceptance by the family of their life. I believe this is set just after WWII and I think everyone has difficult times and this certainly illustrates that. I enjoyed the film although it is somewhat depressing seeing them go through these same days and hardships, day after day. Occasionally the boys play and laugh. Occasionally the mother and father have smiles on their faces, watching the boys, at the end of the day, taking a hot bath, etc. They do have some outings to the mainland which obviously are entertaining. This is a marvelous film. There is only one angry scene in the film when the mother spills one of her two buckets of water. The father walks a few steps down (they are in the middle of their cultivated area), looks at her and slaps her. It is more of a slap about her wasting water than in true anger. She doesn't really react. She accepts this. One is lead to believe she understands this and doesn't really have a problem with it. There is also a sad portion of the movie but I won't detail that here.

Although one might think that the two adults are actually farmers, they are both actors and are in many movies. In real life Shindô, the director, later married Nobuko Otowa, the mother in the film. Interestingly enough both Nobuko Otowa, who died first in real life, and later Shindô both had their ashes scattered on this island. There were many years and many films between this film and their deaths.

This film won numerous awards including the Grand Prix at the Moscow International Film Festival. In the classic films list, They Shoot Pictures Don't They, this film is number 876.

The release I watched is from Criterion and the print is excellent. There is a lot of supplemental material which I will watch today and over the next few days.
