AUTUMN ADAGIO [FUWAKU NO ADAGIO] FRIDAY 8 OCTOBER AT 9:30PM A nun going through her menopause might sound like the punch-line of a joke you wouldn’t tell your mum, but Tsuki Inoue’s disarmingly beautiful film Autumn Adagio takes what could have so easily been a premise ripe for exploitation and makes from it a profoundly moving and utterly restrained masterpiece. Mariko, who is first seen absent-mindedly plucking the stamen from a bouquet of lilies, lives a cloistered, routine life. One day, confused by the way she is feeling, she takes a leap of faith and volunteers to play the piano for the local ballet school. Whilst working she becomes entranced by the instructor’s graceful movements in a scene that is both gently surreal and quietly erotic. Although she plays well, the instructor tries to encourage her to put more of herself into the music. Moriko, who has spent her life repressing her sexuality and emotions, decides to let them out for a short time before they are lost forever and we can’t help but be swept along with her new enthusiasm. From then on the film is by turns disturbing, tragic and uplifting as she learns to reengage with the world. More and more we start to see her without her habit, and the change is striking. The tension between religion and sexuality has been explored in many films, but rarely has it been handled with such sensitivity.

Tanishi’s idle existence of porn and fantasizing is thrown into disarray after a night of drunken flirtation with his co-worker Chiharu. Despite Tanishi’s repeated acts of self-sabotage it seems that nothing can drive Chiharu away. But when Aoyama, star salesman of a rival capsule company becomes a rival Tanishi vows to fight him for Chiharu’s honour. Playing a bit like the Japanese take on 40 Year Old Virgin, Boys on the Run is based on a manga by Kengo Hanazawa and is the debut feature film from successful theatre director Daisuke Miura. Chock full of deliciously awkward moments, the film also has a lot more depth than the average sex comedy, asking us to consider how and when exactly a boy becomes a man. On the run from the ever-looming threat of responsibility and maturity, Tanishi tries to explore his masculinity through sex and after that fails, through violence. Boys on the Run is both a hilariously demented sex comedy and a surprisingly touching almost-love story that repeatedly and ingeniously turns underdog clichés on their head.

OTSUKA DRUGSTORE SUNDAY 10 OCTOBER AT 1:45PM The cranky Otsuka presides over the shambolic drug store of PRESENTED BY the title like a griffon in her den, scaring off customers with her grating manner and flatulence. Either that or she can be found sleeping behind the counter. No wonder she’s being robbed left right and centre and it certainly doesn’t help that she seems unable to tell a customer from a burglar. But when a girl drops by the store every morning to buy a different coloured nail varnish the older woman recognises this as an attempt to attract a crush, and against her worse nature decides to help. Through Nakasaku’s attempts to land the object of her desires, Otsuka seeks to relive her own past and in particular the failed high-school romance that saw her betrayed by her match-maker twenty five years ago. As her past comes flooding back her stern demeanour begins to melt and her advice to Nakasaku softens. Told in vivid over-saturated flash backs, with over-the-top manga sensibility and wonky framing that fits the film’s sultry central character perfectly, debutant director Yuu Katsumata none-the-less brings the film to a surprisingly moving finale. This is a promising early work that suggests Katsumata may soon be making endearingly quirky comedies along with the best of the new wave of Japanese indie directors.

These characters all share the fact that they have lost something and their stories revolve around Mr Togashi who runs the station’s lost property office. Unlike many Japanese indie films its eccentric characters remain very believable and empathetic as they are brought together and broken apart by a series of lost objects, each of which is given tremendous emotional weight thanks to Nobuyuki Miyaki’s subtle plotting and gentle camera work. This seems to evoke Mr Togashi’s own philosophy as he chides his young associate for dismissing some of the items he cares for as trash, saying: ‘that’s not for you to decide. If it comes in here then it belongs to someone. It’s important.’ Miyaki’s self-assured debut feature is a charming drama of fleeting encounters, which fans of Shunji Iwai or Edward Yang will love. Despite its subtlety its themes will resonate long after you leave the cinema.

Ryoko Tanabe was once a successful chef who ran a restaurant with her partner Daichi, but we first meet her in the film wrapped in blankets in her tiny bedroom, surrounded by junk food packets and vomiting into a bucket. She has bulimia. The film hints at various causes: perhaps it was triggered by the incident in which she accidentally poisons a customer, perhaps she’s motivated by a perverse sense of rebellion, or maybe it’s because she can’t have children? These things are never easily explained and the film is all the better for not trying to prescribe a solution or give a reason.

Sambor12, William E. Schnabel6, Richard W. Wies Jr9 and Michelle Wilber 4 The food–energy–water (FEW) nexus describes interactions among domains that yield gains or trade-offs when analysed together rather than independently. In a project about renewable energy in rural Alaska communities, we applied this concept to examine the implications for sustainability and resilience. The FEW nexus provided a useful framework for identifying the cross-domain benefits of renewable energy, including gains in FEW security. However, other factors such as transportation and governance also play a major role in determining FEW security outcomes in rural Alaska. Here, we show the implications of our findings for theory and practice. The precise configurations of and relationships among FEW nexus components vary by place and time, and the range of factors involved further complicates the ability to develop a functional, systematic FEW model. Instead, we suggest how the FEW nexus may be applied conceptually to identify and understand cross-domain interactions that contribute to long-term sustainability and resilience. ood, energy and water are essential components of sustain- and the remaining food are transported in by air or water.
