After the success of his “Samurai Trilogy”, renowned director Yamada Yoji draws acclaim and accolades once more with the wartime drama Kabei – Our Mother. Based on Nogami Teruyo’s memoirs, Kabei follows a normal, loving family as their innocent, bustling lives are forever transformed by the war. Veteran actress Yoshinaga Sayuri is the picture of dignity and grace as a strong and elegant woman who holds her family together in her husband’s absence, while acclaimed actor Asano Tadanobu disappears into the role of an awkward, affable writer who becomes the unlikely hero for a struggling family. Also co-starring Dan Rei from Love and Honor, Kabei is a triumph in humanistic storytelling, breaking hearts with its realistic characters, sensitive depictions, and precious moments of laughter and tears.

Nogami Kayo (Yoshinaga Sayuri) and her husband Shigeru (Bando Mitsugoro), affectionately called “Kabei” and “Tobei” by their daughters, form a small and happy family in 1940s Japan. When Shigeru is imprisoned for political reasons, however, Kayo is left to carry the family as war breaks out in the Pacific. In these dark times, Shigeru’s frazzled, kindhearted student Yamasaki Toru (Asano Tadanobu) shows up at the doorstep to offer his help. Devoting his time and heart to supporting the family and fighting for Shigeru’s release, Yamasaki develops a strong bond with Kayo, her daughters, and her sister-in-law Hisako (Dan Rei). Kayo stands as a pillar of silent strength through the years of war and strife, taking the trials that come one by one, but not even she can anticipate where her heart lies and fate leads..

Yasujiro Ozu (1903-1963) spent most of his directorial career exploring the changing familial relationships in post-World War II Japan, and his Tokyo Story (1953) has even become one of the most important titles in Japanese cinema. Days Of Youth (1929) is among the very few films by Ozu that is not about his signature theme, but instead an entertaining light comedy. However, this early title of his actually foreshadows his highly stylized way of shooting, which has impressed generations of cinema-goers in Japan and abroad. The story follows two teenagers falling in love with the same girl. They go skiing with her and try to win her heart, but romance turns out to become a lesson about friendship and love….

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee returns to Chinese-language cinema for the first time since his award-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Based on a short story by celebrated author Eileen Chang (Eighteen Springs), Lust, Caution is easily one of 2007’s biggest events in World Cinema.

1942, Japanese occupied Shanghai. Young drama student Wang Jiazhi (Tang Wei, in a daring debut performance) has been given an extraordinary mission: to infiltrate the inner circle of Mr. Yee (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), the head of the Japanese puppet government’s secret police, and arrange for his assassination. To do so, she takes on a false identity as “Mrs. Mak” and attempts to seduce Mr. Yee, convincing him of her emotion so she can one day betray him. At first, Jiazhi is dedicated to her cause, having been drafted into the ranks of the resistance by her charismatic classmate Kuang (Leehom Wang). But in attempting to draw closer to Mr. Yee, she finds herself torn between her “real” life and the seductive pull of the role she has created, a role that threatens to consume her heart and soul.

Premiering at the 2007 Venice Film Festival, the film earned Ang Lee his second Golden Lion Award, the first being for Brokeback Mountain, while also receiving notices for its exacting detail, sumptuous period setting, powerful performances from Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Tang Wei, and finally its explicit love scenes. The film was branded with an NC-17 rating in North America due to nudity and graphic sexual situations, but the material is integral to the film, revealing the characters at perhaps their most emotionally vulnerable and exposed. Also starring Asian-American actress Joan Chen, and featuring an exquisite score from French composer Alexandre Desplat, Lust, Caution is a powerful and uncompromising work from one of the world’s most accomplished modern filmmakers.

The Japan Version Special Collector’s Edition of Lust, Caution comes with the following special features:

  • Making Of
  • Interviews (Tony Leung, Tang Wei, Joan Chen, Ang Lee)
  • Exclusive Interview in Japan
  • Japan Press Conference
  • Exclusive Interview in Shanghai

    After seven long years, Arashi once again returns to the silver screen as a unit in PIKANCHI LIFE IS HARD tabun HAPPY! The idol group picks up the thread on the PIKANCHI film series, which began in 2002 and spawned two movies prior to this one. Developed from a story by V6’s Inohara Yoshihiko, the series began with a group of five young men living in the same Tokyo apartment complex navigating through their teenage years together. The second film, released in 2004, caught up with the five friends, now in their twenties, as they struggled to transition into adulthood. With this 2014 installment, labeled the 2.5 entry in the series by Arashi’s members and made to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the boy band’s debut, we take a peek into the lives of Haru (Ohno Satoshi), Chu (Sakurai Sho), Shun (Aiba Masaki), Takuma (Ninomiya Kazunari) and Bon (Matsumoto Jun) a decade after we last saw them.

    Now in their 30s, the erstwhile ragtag neighborhood friends are each dealing with his own work and family concerns, which include, among others, infidelity, disagreements over child-rearing methods and struggling businesses. The four who have remained in Japan get together to catch up, and are eventually joined by the globetrotting Takuma. As it turns out, there’s a special reason for this reunion….
