[natehoodreviews]

Charlie Kaufman once wrote that death comes faster than you think, and this is true but it also leaves slower than you’d want, for with a passing comes the flood of memories leaving a you-sized crater in the hearts of those you knew and loved. Many films have dealt with death and grief, but few have truly considered the initial emptiness and mystery of loss as poignantly as Takumi Saitoh’s Blank 13. Based on the life of the film’s screenwriter Koji Hashimoto, it examines the gaping hole left in mild-mannered armored truck driver Koji Matsuda (Issei Takahashi) after learning his father Masato (Lily Franky), an inveterate gambler, has died of stomach cancer. Thirteen years before, Masato left his family one night to get cigarettes and never came back, leaving his mother Hiroko (Misuzu Kanno) and older brother Yoshiyuki (Saitoh) scrambling to keep food on the table and to pay back his yakuza gambling debts.

Hacia la luz (Hikari)

Hacia la luz (Hikari)

«En ocasiones la imaginación deja de funcionar», dice uno de los personajes al inicio de Hacia la luz, la última cinta de la cineasta nipona Naomi Kawase presentada hoy lunes a mediodía en la Sección Oficial del teatro Calderón. Y antes estas palabras al término de la proyección uno no puede estar más de acuerdo. No tuvo la misma opinión un buen puñado del público asistente, que regaló una corta,…

Lost Girls and Love Hotels (2020)

Título original: Lost Girls and Love Hotels

Director: William Olsson

Guion: Catherine Hanranhan

Fotografía: Kenji Katori

Música: Ola Fløttum

Montaje: Sarah Flack

Productora: Blackbird Films, Wandering Trail Pictures

Año: 2020

Elenco: Alexandra Daddario, Takehiro Hira, Carice van Houten, Andrew Rothney, Misuzu Kanno.

País: Estados Unidos, Japón

Una de las mejores cosas de ver cine y quizás uno de los objetivos primordiales de los realizadores es hacer que la audiencia se pierda en la película, que por el tiempo que dure la función las personas se vean inmersas en la historia. Desafortunadamente, Lost Girls and Love Hotels (2020) genera el efecto contrario.

Basada en la novela homónima de Catherine Hanranhan, la película trata sobre Margaret, una estadounidense que vive en Japón para escapar de sus preocupaciones. Durante el día, es profesora de inglés en una academia de azafatas, en las noches se emborracha en bares con sus amigos. Cuando conoce a Kazu, un intrigante Yakuza, desciende en un viaje de amor y lujuria entre “Hoteles del Amor” y callejones oscuros de Tokio.

El guion presenta varios problemas, sobre todo en el primer acto. El contexto y las motivaciones de los personajes no se establecen en ningún momento. La protagonista es una persona solitaria que toma malas decisiones y no la llegamos a comprender del todo por no contar con suficiente información. Eventualmente, debido al comprensible ritmo lento y taciturno de la película, se presentan algunos datos vagos que carecen de impacto en la audiencia.

No obstante, parte de lo poco que se genera en el público es gracias a las actuaciones del elenco. Las emociones, sus expresiones faciales y corporales te causan una impresión de lo que llevan por dentro. También posee una excelente fotografía, mayormente de tonos fríos excepto aquello que le interesa a Margaret (bares, hoteles, sexo). Particularmente se aprecia que no se abusara ni forzaran las escenas sexuales. Igualmente, detalles como el vestuario y la banda sonora ayudan.

Hay elementos que logran cierto ambiente. Es una historia sencilla que apela a las emociones a través de momentos de introspección. Pero, lamentablemente sus intentos no son suficientes para generar empatía o interés en la audiencia.

Embark on an Intoxicating Journey of Love, Lust and Rebirth Through the Streets of Tokyo with Alexandra Daddario & Takehiro Hira

ARRIVING IN SELECT THEATERS AND ON VOD SEPTEMBER 4

https://vimeo.com/436179361

Los Angeles, Calif. – [July 8, 2020] – Astrakan Film AB is proud to announce that it will release LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS from director William Olsson (An American Affair, Reliance), writer Catherine Hanrahan and producer Lauren Mann (Swiss Army Man) in select theaters and on VOD September 4, 2020. The long-awaited film stars Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas, TV’s “True Detective”) and Takehiro Hira (The Fighter Pilot, The Floating Castle) and is an adaptation of Hanrahan’s 2006 novel of the same name.

 LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS tells the story of an American English teacher named Margaret (Alexandra Daddario) and her nightly pilgrimages through Tokyo’s glittering nightlife in an attempt to forget her painful past and discover new meaning in the arms of a mysterious Yakuza (Takehiro Hira) named Kazu. The provocative tale takes the viewer on a journey through the darkest alleyways of Japan, as their affair tears them apart and reshapes them across Tokyo’s landscape of dive bars, alleyways and three-hour love hotels. In addition to Daddario and Hira, the film also stars Carice van Houten (TV’s “Game of Thrones,” Valkyrie), Misuzu Kanno (37 Seconds, Vise) and Kate Easton (Where’d You Go, Bernadette, You Were Never Really Here).

For fans of Catherine Hanrahan’s novel, the release of LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS marks the culmination of a lengthy journey from page to screen since the book’s initial publishing in 2006. With Alexandra Daddario and Takehiro Hira in the lead roles and William Olsson at the helm, supported by BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning editor Sarah Flack (Somewhere, Bling Ring), the film is poised to bring audiences an exhilarating and often-overlooked view of the balance between tradition and modernity in Tokyo. Additional credits include U.S casting by Susan Shopmaker (First Reformed, Martha Macy May Marlene) and Japanese casting by Kei Kawamura (Silence).

The film will be the first title distributed by newly established Astrakan Releasing, the distribution arm of Astrakan AB Film, in partnership with distribution consultant Steven Friedlander of SGF & Partners. On launching with LOST GIRLS AND LOVE HOTELS, producer Lauren Mann (Swiss Army Man) says:

“When I first read LOST GIRLS AND LOVE HOTELS, I knew we had something very special on our hands. Having seen Catherine’s words come to life with such depth, honesty and beauty, it was obvious to us that this was the film we wanted to make our debut into distribution with.”

Director William Olsson adds: “At the Kiyomizudera temple in Kyoto there is a tomb called Buddhas Womb. As you enter the tomb, you walk into total darkness with only a handrail to guide you. You walk and walk until you are completely deprived of any visual sense. Then, finally, you start to see the light at the end of a tunnel, and you come upon an ancient stone illuminated by a small hole in the roof. The lesson is simple. In order to see the light you first have to experience the dark. And that is ultimately what Lost Girls is for me. A story of being reborn. A journey through the dark to the light. Just like the movie itself, which I am thrilled to bring into the light on September 4.”

Astrakan Film AB are current in the final days of shooting Paul Schrader’s THE CARD COUNTER starring Tiffany Haddish, Oscar Isaac, Willem Dafoe and Tye Sheridan. The production which was shut down in March due to the COVID pandemic.

LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS will hit select U.S theaters and VOD on September 4. International sales are being handled by Voltage Pictures.

Sex and disability make for tenderly humorous Japanese drama

BERLIN (Reuters) – A talented young woman breaks free from an overly protective parent, explores her sexuality and forges her own, promising path in the world.

So far so conventional. But in “37 Seconds” Japanese director Hikari chose to tackle a topic that, she said, audiences in her country were reluctant to embrace. Her protagonist, played by amateur actress Mei Kayama, has cerebral palsy.

“Every culture has something they don’t want to talk about,” Hikari, who goes by one name only, told Reuters. “People with a disability and their sexuality is definitely not something that people would talk about in Japan.”

The film, one of about 400 showing at the Berlin Film Festival, has been well-received by audiences captivated by Mei’s portrayal of 27-year-old Yuma Takada, a talented artist who wants to make her name in manga, or Japanese graphic novels.

A sympathetic magazine editor (Yuka Itaya) tells her art is technically proficient but betrays her lack of worldly experience. Criticizing her depictions of sex as unconvincing, she tells the young, wheelchair-bound woman to lose her virginity and then return.

Handled less deftly, such a premise could be crass. But Mei’s portrayal of an ambitious young woman throwing herself into the Tokyo night over the fearful objections of her mother (Misuzu Kanno) is by turns hilarious and tender.

“I feel like with this kind of movie oftentimes once it goes too far it becomes too dramatic. It’s sometimes difficult to keep watching,” said Hikari.
