The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses
Komura starts his school year with a new seat neighbour in homeroom—the bespectacled Mie. Before long, he’s nursing a raging crush on his quirky classmate who’s always forgetting her glasses! While this might be ideal for Komura to get to know Mie better, will his poor heart give out from the daily strain of being up close and personal with the girl he likes?!

Recently Viewed: A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness
Nearly a decade after being fired by Nikkatsu for his “incomprehensible” style, Seijun Suzuki returned to the studio system to direct A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness, a subversive, satirical black comedy that feels at least somewhat autobiographical.
The plot (which is surprisingly coherent when judged by the arthouse auteur’s usual standards) revolves around a sports publication’s efforts to transform an attractive amateur golfer into a model, spokesperson, and television star, hoping that her success on the fairway will translate to advertising revenue. Initially, this rags-to-riches narrative unfolds in a rather traditional, straightforward, conventional manner; as the protagonist’s fragile psyche gradually fractures under the pressures of her newfound fame, however, the movie’s formal structure likewise deteriorates: the editing becomes increasingly disjointed and fragmentary, while the production design abandons mundane naturalism in favor of surreal impressionism (our heroine’s palatial home is particularly striking in this regard, featuring an intentionally inconsistent color palette reminiscent of the climactic shootout in Suzuki’s own Tokyo Drifter).
The result is a delightfully delirious criticism of commercialism, consumer culture, and manufactured celebrity—a scathing indictment of how corporations reduce people to products, exploiting their popularity before callously discarding them when they are no longer profitable. From its cheeky opening credits sequence (a series of meticulously composed and exquisitely framed images of golf paraphernalia evocative of a country club brochure) to its absurdly tragic conclusion (even Shakespeare himself would find the carnage to be a tad excessive), A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness is a resounding triumph. The fact that it was distributed by Shochiku—a company that is commonly associated with “prestige cinema” (i.e., award bait)—merely enriches its deliciously irreverent tone.

Revenger: Nitroplus e Shochiku stanno lavorando ad un nuovo misterioso anime originale
La serie animata è stata annunciata con un breve teaser e una prima locandina.
Pare che oltre alle giornate di pioggia, questo autunno ci stia regalando anche qualche sorpresa in fatto di produzioni originali , che seppur spesso si rivelino per lo più hit-or-miss, io accolgo sempre con curiosità, visto che hanno il potenziale di portare un pochino di freschezza in un’industria sempre più stagnante.
Al contrario di “Giants Beasts of Ars”, però, nel caso di “REVENGER” il tutto rimane ancora avvolto nel mistero, dato che oltre al breve teaser e alla locandina, non abbiamo informazioni sulla serie animata prodotta da Nitroplus e Shochiku.
L’unico dettaglio lo possiamo trovare nella frase riportata sull’immagine promozionale, la quale ci anticipa che il protagonista lotta contro un destino avverso e non si fa problemi a brandire la spada per uccidere.
NON VUOI PERDERTI NEANCHE UN POST? ENTRA NEL CANALE TELEGRAM! *

・ ・ 今日までGYAO!で無料だから『いつかギラギラする日』を30年ぶりに再び観た。 ・ あの映画もあの映画も観ないから簡単に比較はできないけど、やっぱり骨太で令和では絶対作れない大金叩いた映画だね! でもねえ、令和のジジイになって再び観ると、加トケンのコントを観ているみたいでなんか笑っちゃったなあ。 勝手に今、自分的な助演女優賞は荻野目ちゃん姉でスゴいね!いろんな意味でハジけてたよ! そして、助演男優賞はダブル受賞でテラノとファイヤーバードでよく耐えたと思う!というか、あのシーンの為に四駆のテラノを使ったワケやね。 ・ ところで、「いつかギラギラする日」があったからジュディマリが結成されたって知らんかった! ・ #いつかギラギラする日 #TheTripleCross #深作欣二 #KinjiFukasaku #丸山昇一 #ShoichiMaruyama #奥山和由 #KazuyoshiOkuyama ・ #萩原健一 #木村一八 #多岐川裕美 #荻野目慶子 #石橋蓮司 #千葉真一 ・ #樹木希林 #原田芳雄 ・ #GYAO #ギャオ #松竹 #Shochiku ・ #映画 #movie #ビバムビ #instamovie #moviestagram #instagood #instapic (at Tokyo Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CifXKi-J8Ah/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Demon Pond (夜叉ヶ池), directed by Masahiro Shinoda (1979)
Kabuki camp! Yokai cosplay! Somehow this film struck a satisfying balance between riotous fun and lovelorn melancholy. I knew I was in for a wild ride when, in the beginning of the film, a village woman tries to cleanse the dust lodged in the traveler’s eye with breast milk squirted straight from her teat.
There were scenes that seemed directly culled from my dreams… the wall of water, the threatened village, the tinkle becoming glissandi in the Harp Playing Valley. It must be a primordial structure of the human psyche—that uncanny feeling you get looking at a body of water, when it appears somehow volitional, perhaps ominously so. It is dreaming. It is sentient. It is a prison… Who is held captive to these waters? A princess in love, ready to unleash her fury.
File under oneiric cinema.
