Hitomi Kuroki in Sada (Nobuhiko Obayashi, 1998)

Cast: Hitomi Kuroki, surutarô Kataoka, Norihei Miki, Kippei Shîna, Toshie Negishi, Bengal, Renji Ishibashi, Kyûsaku Shimada. Screenplay: Yuko Nishizawa. Cinematography: Noritaka Sakamoto. Production design: Kôichi Takeuchi. Film editing: Nobuhiko Obayashi. Music: Sotaro Manabu.

Having seen House (Nobuhiko Obayashi, 1977) and In the Realm of the Senses (Nagisa Oshima, 1976), I had to see what the director of the former -- a brightly colored, over-the-top horror film, set to a bubble-gum pop soundtrack, about a gaggle of Japanese schoolgirls who find themselves in a haunted house and proceed to die in various colorful and inventive ways -- would do with the latter -- a sexually explicit account, with full nudity and unsimulated copulation, of the crime of Sada Abe, who in 1936 killed her lover, Kichizo Ishido, carved their names on his body, and cut off his genitals, carrying them around with her until she was arrested. The story of Sada has been the subject of numerous books and at least five movies in Japan, after her trial -- which resulted in five years in prison -- set off a nationwide sensation, turning her into a kind of folk hero. The result is a curiously show-offy film that Obayashi fills with all manner of tricks: switches from color to black-and-white, characters breaking the fourth wall, eccentric cuts and startling shifts of tone, and deliberate violations of cinematic convention. In one scene, Sada (Hitomi Kuroki) and her lover, whose name has been changed to Tatsuzo (Tsurutaro Kataoka) in the film, are walking along the street together. The camera follows Tatsuzo from right to left as he speaks, then cuts to Sada as she replies. Film convention calls for a shot followed by a reverse shot, in which we see first Tatsuzo and then Sada from different angles. Instead, Obayashi cuts to Sada, filmed from the same angle and still traveling from right to left, as if she has somehow physically replaced Tatsuzo. This and similar impossible cuts and angles in the film are probably meant to suggest Sada's identification with her lover. Tone shifts mark the film from the beginning: It opens with 14-year-old Sada's rape by a teenage boy, a harrowing scene that is nevertheless somehow played as if it were comic, just as later Sada's work as a prostitute shifts into comic mode with speeded-up action and cuts to a voyeur watching from his hiding place, and a fight with Tatsuzo's wife becomes almost slapstick. Obayashi seems determined to avoid anything that smacks of melodrama or sentimentality. but not always successfully. The screenplay, by Yuko Nishizawa, tries to add depth to Sada's story by inventing a young medical student, Okada (Kippei Shina), who tends to her after her rape. He becomes a symbol of Sada's loss of anything but physical love when he is forced to part from her: He gives her his scalpel and has her mime cutting out his heart and taking it with her -- an obvious foreshadowing of her actual use of the scalpel on Tatsuzo. Sada spends much of the film hoping to be reunited with Okada, only to find that he has leprosy and has been sent to an island on the Inland Sea for quarantine. The film ends with a shot of an elderly woman looking out across the sea to the island. In contrast to Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses, Obayashi's film avoids nudity, but this only serves to add another layer of distance between the viewer and Sada. Kuroki, a beautiful young actress, does what she can with the role, but the constant camera tricks and the limitations imposed by the script never let us get more than a superficial glimpse of what drove Sada Abe to act as she did.

The Adventures of Sun Wukong (1959) 孫悟空

Director: Kajiro Yamamoto Starring: Norio Miki Genre: Fantasy Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan Language: Japanese Date: 1959-04-19 Also known as: Monkey Sun / 孙悟空 IMDb: tt0053078 Type: Retelling

Summary:

The mythical adventures of the legendary Chinese trickster Monkey, who must outwit a variety of wily demons who stand in the way of him and his fellow Buddhist travelers. Though portrayed as a literal, if rather anthropomorphized, Monkey in the original legends, this film substitutes the spindly comic actor Norihei Miki, sans makeup.

Pom Poko (1994)

✭✭✩✩✩

Info: 6 and over | 1h 59min | Director: Isao Takahata Genre: Animation, Anime, Comedy, Drama http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110008/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

As the human city development encroaches on the raccoon dog population’s forest and meadow habitat, the raccoon dogs find themselves faced with the very real possibility of extinction. In response, the raccoon dogs engage in a desperate struggle to stop the construction and preserve their home.

Four main roles: Shinchô Kokontei – Narrator (voice) Makoto Nonomura – Shôkichi (voice) Yuriko Ishida – Okiyo (voice) Norihei Miki – Seizaemon (voice)

Review: The movie itself is claimed to be for children, but of course anyone who enjoys a good animation movie can watch it as well! What isn’t really suitable for kids – or what at least I found unnecessary – is that all male raccoons are marked by the viewer being shown their balls. I personally would’ve enjoyed the movie more without the balls showing. (They even form blankets and parachutes with them – what the heck?!?!?) But I guess that’s one aspect that stands out and what makes this movie iconic? xD Anyway, with that out of the way, the movie itself covers important topics after all.

The story itself is told by a narrator and sometimes by the characters themselves, like they are being interviewed or something. While I found it weird that they character told their story like being on a reality show, I enjoyed the aspect of there being a narrator.

Some of the characters and how they behaved were a bit too sexist and cliché for my liking. I don’t know if this was because of the time story took place or because of those who wrote the characters. Probably a bit of both.

What I really enjoyed though, is that there was a main female character who didn’t behave cliché or typical for her gender. I loved to see her teach the great tricks that she’s mastered. Wished that there were more female students though. They only appear once in the film and only for a short time, which makes me come to the conclusion, that this was an exception and that female raccoons don’t normally are allowed to learn more than the basics of those great tricks.

The animation is really well done, although I don’t always like the style. But it’s really great to see all the transformations and movements be so smooth. Really great to look at! I wouldn’t recommend it watching with your kids except on halloween maybe since this movie can be a bit scary/creepy sometimes. Also: there are some scenes which definitely are for adults only.

Trailer: (Watch at your own risk)
