With the recent success in the genre of samurai film remaking, it seems timely to revive a forgotten master of the samurai films from early Japanese cinema. Tange Sazen: Hyakuman Ryo no Tsubo is a remake of a classic 1935 film of the same name by Sadao Yamanaka. Tange Sazen, the one-armed, one-eyed, ex-samurai swordsman is the creation of Fubo Hayashi, and was one of the most popular characters of the era. This remake is helmed by freshman director Toshio Tsuda, starring Etsushi Toyokawa as Sazen and Emi Wakui as Ofuji, his quick-witted wife. This marks the 34th film in the series of Tange Sazen, and this comedy of errors involves an urn that is worth a million ryo!

With a witty script that combines Hollywood style storytelling with classical Japanese humor, it is a treat for film fans that Tange Sazen has finally returned to our big screens!

    After the twisted verve of bizarre black comedy The Matsugane Potshot Affair, acclaimed director Yamashita Nobuhiro returns to simpler, softer times with the 2007 youth romance A Gentle Breeze in the Village (a.k.a. Tennen Kokekko). Yamashita again takes on a subtle coming-of-age tale, but unlike the spunky wannabe rockers of Linda Linda Linda, the teens in Tennen Kokekko are far removed from the city and ordinary school life. Based on a popular Kuramochi Fusako manga, the film follows a small group of students in a remote rural town, casting a gentle, observant eye on their daily lives and growing pains. Though manga adaptations and pure love films have become nearly ubiquitous, Yamashita’s unrushed direction and Watanabe Aya’s (Maison de Himiko) remarkable screenplay cleanly sidestep the genre cliches, a perfect case of achieving more with less. Embracing the innocence and insecurities of youth with simplicity, clarity, and sensitivity, Tennen Kokekko is a small, genuine, and gracefully rendered film.

    Soya (Kaho, Gamera the Brave) is in her second year of junior high, but things are a bit lonely as she is the only student in her grade. In fact, there are only six students in her entire school, all of different grades studying in one classroom. The oldest of the group, Soya has a very close relationship with the other kids, but she can’t help feeling lost at times in a tiny school and a quiet town whose population dwindles by the day. Everything changes when a boy from Tokyo, Osawa (Okada Masaki), transfers to her school and, what’s more, he’s in the same grade as her..
