SUMMARY:Japanese Movies at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema: Sue\, Mai and Sawa
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Osamu Minorikawa\n2013\, 106 minutes\, PG\nStarring  Ko Shibasaki\, Yôko Maki\, Shinobu Terajima\nComedy/drama\n\nSue\, Mai and Sawa documents the enduring friendship of three single women in their thirties as they confront the challenges\, indignities and rewards of work\, love and family.  Sue-chan is an inventive cook at a chic bistro who is struggling to adjust to a new leadership role. Mai-chan works in sales\, but spends a lot of time covering for her incompetent boss. And Sawa-san (a few years older\, hence the more formal honorific –san) is a freelance illustrator caring for her bedridden grandmother.  Beautifully filmed and superbly cast\, with a soft\, aspirational gloss that belies the harder truths at its core\, this is a sharply observant film that refuses to be dismissed as a simple chick flick. \nPresented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto \nCommunity partner: Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival \n \n  \n  \n  \n© 2012 “Sue\, Mai & Sawa” Production Committee\, 2013

SUMMARY:Japanese Movies at the Bloor Cinema: The Floating Castle
DESCRIPTION:Directed by: Isshin Inudo\, Shinji Higuchi\nStarring: Mansai Nomura\, Nana Eikura\, Hiroki Narimiya\, Tomomitsu Yamaguchi\, Koichi Sato\n2012\, 145″ (historical action comedy) \nNearing the end of Japan’s long years of civil war\, with Toyotomi Hideyoshi one short step away from finally uniting the land under his rule\, he sends a massive army north against the Hojo clan\, his last enemy. The one stronghold he cannot take is Oshi Castle\, a Hojo outpost in the land of Bushu. Called “the floating castle” because of the lake that surrounds it\, it is under the command of one Narita Nagachika\, an extremely popular ruler known to the people of his domain as “Nobou-sama\,” or “blockhead.” Under Hideyoshi’s orders\, General Ishida surrounds the castle with a force of 20\,000. \nNagachika is\, as his nickname suggests\, not a gifted man at all\, but against the overwhelming resources of the Ishida army\, the forces of this valiant little castle—only 500 cavalry—unite with the common folk in stubborn resistance\, retreating not one step even when Ishida resorts to the extraordinary measure of damming a river to flood them out. \nBut\, with victory in their grasp\, outside events give the story a twist no one would have ever expected… \nPresented by: The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto\nCommunity Partner: Toronto Japanese Language School\n\n \n© 2011 “The Floating Castle” Film Partners

SUMMARY:Japanese Movies at the Bloor: Akko-chan: The Movie
DESCRIPTION:Akko-chan: The Movie\nDir. Yasuhiro Kawamura\, 2012\, 120 min.\nAkko-chan: The Movie is based on Fujio Akatsuka’s classic “magical girl” manga Himitsu no Akko-chan\, which has been broadcast as an animated TV series three times in the past. To mark the comic’s 50th anniversary\, has been adapted into a live-action movie for the first time. \nBy gazing into an enchanted compact\, given to her by the Spirit of Mirrors\, and chanting the magic words tekumakumayakon\, ten-year-old Akko  can transform into anything she wants. The live-action movie gives the story a modern twist\, while allowing the spirit of the original work to shine through. \nWhen Akko transforms into her 22-year-old self\, a chance meeting with Naoto\, a manager at a cosmetics company\, lands her a part-time job. Naoto’s section is about to be shut down\, so Akko earnestly  does her very best to help him\, coming up with childlike ideas and making the most of her magical transforming ability. Lead actress Haruka Ayase vibrantly inhabits this difficult role\, creating a relatable heroine by peppering the film with schoolgirl-like expressions and reactions. \nLively images\, fun action scenes colored with excitement and slapstick\, and a novel viewpoint that refreshingly satirizes corporate tactics are blended into a movie bursting with fashionable and chic taste\, sweeping us away into a feel-good world that “could have been done before but never had.” \nTrailer (Japanese only):
