Chonmage Purin (DVD) (Normal Edition) (English Subtitled) (Japan Version)
Writer-director Nakamura Yoshihiro takes a break from his masterful adaptations of Isaka Kotaro-penned literary works with the offbeat fantasy comedy Chonmage Purin. NEWS and Kanjani8 member Nishikido Ryo takes on his first film lead role as a young samurai who travels forward in time to contemporary Tokyo and learns to become a dessert chef. Based on a series of novels by Araki Gen, the story emphasizes more on the samurai’s fish-out-of-water story than the complexities of time travel, making it a whimsical comedy about the clash of very different values and the reversal of traditional gender roles. With its charming, offbeat story, Chonmage Purin managed to break into the top ten box office chart with on its opening weekend, despite being a limited release of just 36 screens.
Single mom Hiroko (Tomosaka Rie) and her young son Tomoya are walking along the street one afternoon when they suddenly encounter Yasubei (Nishikido Ryo), a young samurai from 180 years ago that has somehow traveled to modern Tokyo. Through various circumstances, Hiroko decides to let Yasubei stay with her in exchange for housework and cooking. In the process, Yasubei picks up the art of making western desserts. Through books, television programs, and a lot of trial and error, Yasubei becomes a western dessert chef with plenty of admirers, while Hiroko begins to wonder if Yasubei could possibly become more than just the time traveler that takes care of her home.
