Sing a Song of Sex (Nagisa Oshima, 1967)

Cast: Ichiro Araki, Kazuko Tajima, Juzo Itami, Akiko Koyama, Koji Iwabuchi, Kazuyoshi Kushida, Hiroshi Sato, Nobuko Miyamoto, Hiroko Masuda, Hideko Yoshida. Screenplay: Tsutomu Tamura, Mamoru Sasaki, Toshio Tajima, Nagisa Oshima. Cinematography: Akira Takada. Set decoration: Jusho Toda. Film editing: Keiichi Uraoka. Music: Hikaru Hayashi. Politics and pornography intersect in Sing a Song of Sex, a film which, though it has four credited screenwriters, was largely improvised by its young cast. It's set at a time of political demonstrations, during which the teacher (Juzo Itami) of a group of young men preparing for their examinations tells them that bawdy songs -- the film's Japanese title has also been translated as A Treatise on Bawdy Songs -- are themselves a political statement, a way for the poorer classes to find release from oppression. And so the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred in the film as the young men act, if only in their imaginations, upon their desires, many of which focus on the pretty Mayuko (Kazuko Tajima), whom they depersonalize by referring to her by her seat number in class, 469. Often enigmatic, Sing a Song of Sex is the kind of film for which it's best that many of us just go along for the ride rather than to try to unravel its social and political implications, which are very much of a particular time and place.

Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, un nuovo trailer svela che l’anime approderà su Netflix ad aprile

Annunciati anche il cast e i musicisti al lavoro sul progetto.

Pubblicati da Netflix un primo trailer esteso e una nuova immagine promozionale, realizzata ancora una volta dal character designer Ilya Kushinov (The Wonderland), di “Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045″, svelando che l’atteso nuovo progetto d’animazione della celebre saga fantascientifica debutterà globalmente sulla piattaforma ad aprile.

La serie è diretta in tandem da Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) assieme a Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed Alpha) ed è animata in computer grafica. L’anime in lavorazione presso Production I.G e Sola Digital Arts sarà composto da due stagioni di 12 episodi ciascuna, una supervisionata da Kamiyama e l’altra da Aramaki.

Per questo nuovo anime è stato confermato il cast dei precedenti capitoli del franchise, eccezion fatta per “Ghost in the Shell Arise”  nel quale figuravano altri doppiatori.

Motoko Kusanagi: Atsuko Tanaka

Daisuke Aramaki: Osamu Saka

Batou: Akio Otsuka

Togusa: Koichi Yamadera

Ishikawa: Yutaka Nakano

Saito: Toru Okawa

Paz: Takashi Onozuka

Borma: Taro Yamaguchi

Tachikoma: Sakiko Tamagawa

La colonna sonora è stata composta da Nobuko Toda (Sweetness & Lightning, The case files of Jeweler Richard) e Kazuma Jinnouchi (Busou Shinki: Moon Angel), i quali avevano già collaborato alla realizzazione di quella della recente serie di “Ultraman” uscita sempre su Netflix. 

La sigla di testa, intitolata "Fly with me" e brevemente anticipata nel video, è ad opera dei millennium parade, il team creativo guidato da Daiki Tsuneta dei King Gnu, che si avvale di diversi cantanti fra i quali ermhoi, HIMI, Cota Mori e Kento Nagatsuka (WONK).

Nel 2045, dopo il crollo del capitalismo mondiale, la squadra d'élite giapponese Sezione incomincia a condurre operazioni contro i crimini informatici.

L’iconica opera cyberpunk, nata dall’omonimo manga di Masamune Shirow, edito in Italia da Star Comics, ha già ispirato negli anni due film diretti da Mamoru Oshii, “Ghost in the Shell” (1995) e “Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence” (2004), due serie tv dirette appunto da Kamiyama, “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex” (2002), “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG” (2004) e l’OVA “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society” (2006). Più recentemente, nel 2013 è stata animata la serie OVA prequel “Ghost in the Shell Arise”, diretta da Kise Kazuchika, proiettata nei cinema e poi adattata per la tv includendo un episodio ponte per il film “Ghost In The Shell: The Rising” (2015). Tutte le opere sono distribuite in Italia da Dynit.

Dreamworks e Paramount ne hanno prodotto nel 2017 un film live action, diretto da Rupert Sanders e con Scarlett Johansson nei panni di della protagonista.

Saw this game coming out and am a bit intrigued. Looks pretty good.

From the Steam Greenlight page:

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a psychological 3rd person survival horror game with strong cinematic inspiration and extreme gameplay.

The story is rich of unpredictable plot-twists, but it is touching at the same time. Psychology plays a huge role within the game: heroes and enemies are atypical and the line between good and evil is blurred. The development of the game is similar to that of a film narration, where the player perfectly identifies himself with the character. The soundtrack, composed by Nobuko Toda (Final Fantasy, Halo, Metal Gear Solid) and Luca Balboni, enhances the terrifying atmosphere of the game.  

PLOT

Rosemary Reed, a fascinating 35 year old woman, reaches the house of a retired notary, Dr. Felton, who is affected by a mysterious disease. The woman is greeted by Ms. Gloria, the nurse who takes care of the old man. When Rosemary reveals herself and her true intentions, the terrifying dread begins.  

Rosemary’s investigations will bring her to believe that the disappearance of the man’s daughter Celeste actually hides a terrible massacre. Dr. Felton and his wife, Arianna, could be the only ones to know the truth, including the secret behind Celeste’s real identity and a fanatic cult of cloistered nuns in red.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is the first title of the long-awaited 3rd person game trilogy. A web of lies where murders and obsessions come to life.  A revolutionary experience created for survival horror fans. 

KEY FEATURES

Run and hide gameplay - You will have to deal with obsessed stalkers always on your steps. They’ll never give up or die.

Psychological plot - Characters in the story are everyday people that turn themselves into scary monsters.

No guns or powerful weapons - You can only use standard items to deceive the stalkers or react to their assaults.

Movie-like cutscenes - Thanks to his impressive direction, Chris Darril puts into play a story rich of complex life-like characters.

Audio clues - The soundtrack will alert you when your enemies are getting closer.

No health bars - Your body is the only way to understand how you are doing.

Learn new skills - Acquire new abilities and improve your old ones throughout the game.

Realistic puzzles - Scenario and characters have been conceived to be realistic and credible.

Top-notch soundtrack - Nobuko Toda (Final Fantasy, Halo, Metal Gear Solid) and Luca Balboni wrote the music for the game.

Real-time loading - Explore the mansion without worrying about empty moments or boring loading times.
