Ryuhei Kitamura has had a rather interesting career. Starting with some of the cult titles of the 00s, including “Versus”, “Azumi” and “LoveDeath”, he then shot a Godzilla and a “Lupin The Third” film, then he moved to Hollywood to shoot films with Ruby Rose and Jean Reno among others, and now he is back with “Three Sisters of Tenmasou”, a manga adaptation that shows his most sensitive side as of now.
Three Sisters of Tenmasou is screening at Japan Cuts
The particular manga is “Tenmasou no Sanshimai: Sky High” by Tsutomu Takahashi (published from 2013 to 2014 by Young Jump Comics) and revolves around the said inn, a quaint out-of-time place in the small port town of Mitsuse.

Keeping up an unassuming facade is one of the many facets within the thriller genre, which often makes it much more fascinating to observe the perpetrator than any other character. It is perhaps not so much the deeds he or she commits but rather the difficult performance of balancing these interior, dark urges, or maybe coming to grips with the emotional turmoil as a consequence to whatever these acts are. Among many other issues, these ideas are what drove director Dai Sako when approaching “Drive Into Night”, a blend of drama and thriller, following the path of a man becoming a perpetrator and how he deals with the aforementioned issues. In his statement, Sako explains he wanted to talk about the idea that pressing moral matters and the “negative energy” defining Japanese society are at the core of this project.

Around these parts we are big fans of the Japanese Ring films. Hell, even the American version of The Ring was pretty good. Sure, the Japanese TV show sucked and the American The Ring 2 left Lots to be desired, so we're hoping Sadako 3D can right some wrongs.
