Ryosuke Hashiguchi’s career parallels that of certain other directors who look at unconventional family scenarios as we moved into the new millennium. Though Hashiguchi’s unconventional is always a little more unconventional than others, and 2001’s “Hush!” is no exception.
Hush is screening at Japan Society
Katsuhiro (Seiichi Tanabe) and Naoya (Kazuya Takahashi) are a gay couple in the early stages of their relationship and have just moved in together. One day, while having lunch at a restaurant, Katsuhiro offers his umbrella to Asako (Reiko Kataoka) who has just had hers stolen. This small act leads to Katsuhiro and Naoya’s lives and relationship to take an unusual turn. Asako is a troubled woman with a history of mental health problems. She counters this by drinking heavily alone and having meaningless sexual encounters. Having already had two abortions as a result, a doctor suggests she maybe has surgery to stop this becoming a problem.

“Still Walking” is an important film in the career of now Palme d’Or winning director Hirokazu Koreeda. One of his strongest films to date and something of a tribute to the works of Yasujiro Ozu, his attention to detail is most evident here, finding the pace that he would find comfort with for his now established brand of cinema.
But, as important, it was also the first collaboration between him and the late Kirin Kiki, whom he would work with on a total of six films over the next decade, helping establish her as Japan’s cinematic grandmother.
On the anniversary of his death, Junpei’s family gather for their annual memorial. The eldest son, an aspiring doctor following in his father’s footsteps, coupled with the fact that he died saving a young boy’s life, paint the image of the ideal man. Fifteen years on,...

“Kamikaze Taxi” isn’t the film you think it is. It starts out with documentary style footage and then it slides into feature narrative and stays there. This format shift is perhaps a clue as to what kind of movie you are really sitting down to, which isn’t a yakuza film, a road movie or a documentary. It’s a unique mashup of style and story that takes you on an odd yet unique journey for two hours and twenty minutes into the life of two Japanese men on the run.

The story that “Kamikaze Taxi” tells is about a Japanese man recently returned to Japan, having lived most of his life in Peru. Working as a taxi driver, Kantake (Kôji Yakusho), is a man out of touch with his Japanese heritage. He meets a young punk,...

Little ForestThe New York Asian Film Festival, now in its 17th year, has become the premiere showcase for East and Southeast Asian cinema in North America. From a modest selection of a mere eleven films in its first year (2002), the festival has grown in both size and scope: this year’s selection includes 58 films from across the continent, an eclectic mix of arthouse and grindhouse, a bold survey of popular and independent cinema from one of the most vibrant and exciting corners of the world. While most of the films are new, including several North American premieres, the festival includes some archival films, including mini-retrospectives on the work of directors Masato Harada and Dante Lam. Thanks to the magic of the Internet and online screeners, I was able to sample a handful of titles from this year’s Nyaff from my home, thousands of miles away from Lincoln Center. I...

Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda Writer: Hirokazu Kore-eda Cinematographer: Yutaka Yamasaki Starring: Hiroshi Abe, Yui Natsukawa, You, Kazuya Takahashi Studio/Runtime: Criterion/114 mins. In every sense of the word except one, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Still Walking is a classic. The film elegantly covers the one-day reunion of the Yokoyama family on the 15th anniversary of the death of the family’s oldest son. As is the tradition in this sort of picture, the reunion is bittersweet, with everyone attempting to play the affectionate roles they’re supposed to, while being unable to get past the anger and difficulties of the past. It’s a story...

The annex, a medical examining room still boasting a wall of pharmaceuticals, remains unchanged, though the patriarchal doctor has retired. Despite the unchanged outward appearances, everything has slightly aged.
