Japanese Movies In Iran

Ten great movies by Japanese filmmakers have been chosen to be screened during the program, which has been in progress since April 11.

Below: A scene from Japanese director Takeshi Kitano’s 2002 movie “Dolls”.

One screening has been scheduled for each film, which is held every Monday and is followed by a review session by an Iranian critic.

Director Takeshi Kitano’s 2002 movie “Dolls” will be screened at 5 pm followed by a review session by Iranian critic Mehdi Malek.

In this visually stunning drama, three romantic tales are told using elements of Japanese Bunraku puppet theater.

In the first, Sawako (Miho Kanno) becomes suicidal when her fiancé, Matsumoto (Hidetoshi Nishijima), leaves her to marry the boss's daughter. Next, an obsessed fan, Nukui (Tsutomu Takeshige), expresses his love for pop singer Haruna (Kyoko Fukada) in a highly violent manner. Then, aging gangster Hiro (Tatsuya Mihashi) attempts to reconnect with an old flame (Chieko Matsubara).

“Dreams”, a 1990 magical realist film of eight vignettes written and directed by Akira Kurosawa, and “Labyrinth of Dreams”, a 1997 mystery film directed by Gakuryu Ishii, were screened over the past two weeks.

The program also features “Nobody Knows”, director Hirokazu Koreeda’s 2004 drama film based on the 1988 Sugamo child abandonment case.

“The Taste of Tea”, the third film by writer and director Katsuhito Ishii, which has been referred to as a “surreal” version of Ingmar Bergman’s “Fanny and Alexander”, will also be screened.

“The Hidden Blade”, a 2004 film set in 1860s Japan, directed by Yoji Yamada, is another highlight of the program. The film follows several samurai during a time of change in the ruling and class structures of Japan.

Also included are “The Mourning Forest” by Naomi Kawase, “Tokyo Sonata” by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, “Confessions” by Tetsuya Nakashima and “13 Assassins” by Takashi Miike.

ドールズ

(2002) dir. Takeshi Kitano

★★★★☆

Takeshi Kitano presenta por primera vez su película, Dolls, en la 59ª edición del Festival internacional de Venecia; una película sobre tres historias separadas que se entrelazan, como las cuerdas que sostienen las marionetas de bunraku. La primera sobre Matsumoto (Hidetoshi Nishijima) y la difícil relación con su comprometida, Sawako (Miho Kanno). La segunda trata de Nukui (Tsutomu Takeshige), un hombre que está obsesionado con la cantante Haruna (Kyoko Fukada). Por último, la tercera sobre Hiro (Tatsuya Mihashi), un hombre que trabaja para la mafia japonesa y se reencuentra con su amada (Chieko Matsubara) de la juventud. 

Dolls es una película realmente hermosa, desde su bella cinematografía —realizada por Katsumi Yanagishima— que logra capturar perfectamente la estética de los personajes siguiendo una paleta de color rica y vibrante, con tonos rojos asombrosos, al igual que la complejidad de las relaciones mostradas en pantalla. De la misma forma, su gran uso del simbolismo eleva la historia, relacionando la dinámica de los personajes con el arte tradicional japonés.

Una historia trágica, con tonos agridulces que desgarra a los personajes al igual que al espectador; la manera que se contrastan los aspectos estéticos con la tragedia que viven todos estos personajes está muy bien planteado y desarrollado. Definitivamente exploraré más del cine de Kitano tras haber disfrutado tanto de su obra maestra.

Dolls

Plot: In this visually stunning drama, three romantic tales are told using elements of Japanese Bunraku puppet theater. In the first, Sawako (Miho Kanno) becomes suicidal when her fiancé, Matsumoto (Hidetoshi Nishijima), leaves her to marry the boss's daughter. Next, an obsessed fan, Nukui (Tsutomu Takeshige), expresses his love for pop singer Haruna (Kyôko Fukada) in a highly violent manner. Then, aging gangster Hiro (Tatsuya Mihashi) attempts to reconnect with an old flame (Chieko Matsubara).

My Feelings: This film is so beautiful it makes me cry.  It craws an a snails pace but I never minded because it’s like watching a painting move.  You do have to be in the right mood for it as It annoys some people that there is a lack of plot.  The focus is on  Sawako and Matsumoto as they wander Japan through the seasons tied together with a red cord not saying a single word.  Sawako having had a mental breakdown can no longer speak and has the mentality of a child.  Still deeply in love with her and blaming himself for her current state Matsumoto takes care of her the best he can.

The story is about love and how it endures.  I would recommend this film to art film fans and to people willing to watch an entire film with next to no dialog.  I know this film is strange but it is also one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen.

4/5

*mental health and suicide play major rolls in the film so if they upset you don’t watch.*
