In a deadly game of hide and seek\, malicious netizens unsatisfied with the young suspect in custody expose the family’s personal information\, as well as their every move. \nCaptivating to watch\, this film by Ryoichi Kimizuka (screenwriter of the Bayside Shakedown films) reflects the current fears over the perils of social media and privacy\, but also deftly weaves a story about the brokenness of modern-day families. This film also earned Kimizuka the ‘Best Screenplay’ award at the Montreal World Film Festival 2008. \nCommunity Partners:\nHamilton Chapter of National Association of Japanese Canadians and the Hamilton Canadian Japanese Cultural Centre \nDetails about February 3\, 2019 Japanese films here >

SUMMARY:THERMAE ROMAE & THRONE OF BLOOD: Japanese Film Festival in Hamilton

All films in Japanese w/Eng subtitles. In between films\, there will be a brief intermission. We will be serving some Japanese refreshments so please arrive early!

He takes elements of Japanese culture that he is inspired by\, and brings it back with him to Rome and becomes hugely successful\, which leads the Emperor to command him to build a massive spa. \nThermae Romae is based on the adaptation of Mari Yamazaki‘s award winning manga\, which has won both the 2010 Manga Taisho and the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for Best Short Work. The film features a roster of talented actors who throw themselves into their roles as citizens of ancient Rome\, including Japanese heart throb Hiroshi Abe who plays the protagonist Lucius. Another striking aspect of the films production is its large open set built at Cinecitta\, Italy’s largest film studio. \n(c) 2012 “THERMAE ROMAE” Film Partners \n \n \nMari Yamazaki\, manga author together with Stars Aya Ueto and Hiroshi Abe at the premiere of the film at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. \n  \nTHRONE OF BLOOD 蜘蛛巣城\n \nSunday February 3 @3:00 PM \n@Hamilton Central Public Library\, free admission\, RSVP recommended but not required \nJapanese with English subtitles \nDirector\, Akira Kurosawa (110 minutes) 1957 \nA vivid\, visceral Macbeth adaptation\, Throne of Blood\, directed by Akira Kurosawa\, sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly\, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power\, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable\, animalistic performance\, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife. Throne of Blood fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. \nDespite the change in setting and language and numerous creative liberties\, Throne of Blood often is considered one of the better film adaptations of the play. It won two Mainichi Film Awards\, including Best Actor for Toshiro Mifune. \n \nCommunity Partners:\nHamilton Chapter of National Association of Japanese Canadians and the Hamilton Canadian Japanese Cultural Centre \nDetails about February 10\, 2019 Japanese films here >
