SUMMARY:Summer Doc Series: Ubusuna
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Mile Nagaoka\, 2013\, 120”\nThursday\, August 4: 6:30 pm EVENT HALL\nMonday\, August 8: 6:30 pm EVENT HALL \nThe ancient Japanese term ubusuna refers to a place and the gods that protect it. Once it was believed that ubusuna protected the people of a place\, from a time before they were born until long after they had died. While most people living in the cities have long forgotten about ubusuna\, could it be possible to unearth traces of it in contemporary Japan? Director Mile Nagaoka and six film-makers from around the world set off on a film-making caravan\, from Yamagata in the north to Okinawa in the south. As they walk\, watch and listen to the stories they find at each place\, they search for clues to the ubusuna that is Japan in the 21st century. \nPlease note that food and drink (water excepted) are not allowed at this event. Thank you for your cooperation. \nFor more information about Japan Foundation\, Toronto event reservation and admittance policies please have a look at our Event FAQ page. \n

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: Memories of Matsuko
DESCRIPTION:Memories of Matsuko\nTetsuya Nakashima/2006/130 min./colour/35mm/R\n Starring: Miki Nakatani\, Eita\, Yusuke Iseya\, Teruyuki Kagawa\, Mikako Ichikawa \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario. \nA darkly hilarious film about family—the desire for recognition and the pain of its refusal. Cute digital effects and gaudy musical numbers belie a story of abuse that has much in common with Kenji Mizoguchi’s Life of Oharu. Matsuko (Miki Nakatani of the Ring franchise) is found beaten to death in poor suburb of Tokyo. Alienated from her family\, her life is dismissed as meaningless until her loser nephew\, tasked with cleaning up her apartment\, starts to piece it together. The musical interludes transform everyday exploitation into an ironic utopia that only accentuates the overwhelming emotional suffering of the rest of the film.\n-Michael Raine \n© 2006 “Memories of Matsuko” Production Committee\nRegistration:\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: Oh! Bomb
DESCRIPTION:Oh! Bomb\nKihachi Okamoto/1964/95 min./b&w/35mm/PG\n Starring: Yunosuke Ito\, Hiroshi Hasegawa\, Kazuo Suzuki\, Ichiro Arishima\, Chotaro Togin \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario \nToho new wave director Kihachi Okamoto tests the limits of the musical comedy in this experimental “rhythm film” that incorporates Japanese forms of “musical” performance such as naniwabushi and Buddhist chant\, as well as direct references toWest Side Story. The zany revenge plot follows the great Japanese character actor Yunosuke Ito as an old-school yakuza replaced by his former underling. There’s also a chauffeur with dreams of the big time and a sidekick who just loves dynamite\, but what ties everything together is a musicality that extends to the editing rhythm of the film itself. Oh\, Bomb! was given a roadshow presentation in 1964\, in a double bill with Hiroshi Teshigahara’s Woman in the Dunes.\n-Michael Raine\n \n©1964 Toho Co.\, Ltd.\nRegistration:\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: The Stormy Man
DESCRIPTION:The Stormy Man\nUmetsugu Inoue/1957/101 min/colour/PG\n Starring: Yujiro Ishihara\, Kyoji Aoyama\, Fukuko Sayo\, Mie Kitahara\, Masumi Okada \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario \nYujiro Ishihara\, the biggest male film and singing star in postwar Japan\, plays a rough drummer given his big break by female talent manager Mie Kitahara. A series of love triangles set within the Tokyo music scene plays out in moody Eastmancolor\, but this film is less noir than male melodrama: the central problem is neither corruption nor romance but the lack of a mother’s love. Yujiro is both lover and fighter\, performing self-assertion and sexual prowess for male and female audiences in conformist Japan. Directed by Umetsugu Inoue\, one of the major directors of postwar musicals\, who even inserted song and dance performances into his action films.\n-Michael Raine \n© 1957 NIKKATSU Corporation\nRegistration:\n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite
