The first Tokyo Sukiyaki Theaters, a hybrid film festival designed to screen films in an online theater for the world and in-person in a Japanese movie theater, is now open for submissions on FilmFreeway.

Actor turned director turned actor again Kazuhiko Hasegawa had a very brief spur with his second capacity, but both of his works were rather successful. “The Man Who Stole the Sun” was considered on of the best titles of 1979 and has gathered a kind of a cult following, while Shohei Imamura-produced “Youth Killer”, shot four years before that, netted him and protagonist Mieko Harada a number of awards throughout Japan, particularly from Kinema Junpo.

All the relationships Jun, a young man has, are rather extreme. His parents love him, but they have very specific purposes for him, having forced him to not go ahead with his schooling but instead run the family's snack bar, since the tire business the family is currently dealing with, has been declining for years. Jun has a girlfriend, Keiko, who seems quite hung up on him,...

Shichiro Fukazawa's story “Narayama” is a haunting tale of ubasute, an ancient practice in Japanese folklore of carrying an elderly family member to a remote area, where they are left to die. Fukazawa's short story has notably been adapted twice. The most popular and successful version is Shohei Imamura's “The Ballad of Narayama,” released in 1983, which was both a critical and financial success and is regarded as a classic. Yet, the first adaptation of the powerful tragedy that came long before is a film that is very different in style from Imamura's depiction but equally wonderful. That magnificent picture is Keisuke Kinoshita's “The Ballad of Narayama.”

No matter what Belgian filmmaking duo Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne, aka the Dardenne brothers, ever do, they will always be known as members of a very elite super club: two-time Palme d’Or winners at Cannes.
While their latest film, “Tori and Lokita” did not win the Palme d’Or prize last year, it competed at Cannes, which is pretty much the case any time the Dardennes ever deign us with a new film—it’s an instant Cannes competition title which is nothing to sneeze at.
