    128 minutes / Color / 2.35 / HD / 5.1 / 2015 SYNOPSIS Mizuki’s husband (Yusuke) drowned at sea three years ago. When he suddenly comes back home, she is not that surprised. Instead, Mizuki is wondering what took him so long. She agrees to let Yusuke take her on a journey. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT In Japanese, there is a verb for the act of accompanying a dying person, or watching over them until their death. It is called « mitoru ». It remains to be seen if it is possible to translate all the subtleties of this word into a foreign language... Rare are those who have gone through the experience of remaining next to a dying person, delicately taking their hand and feeling a vague mutual intention without ever looking away from their face. Fortunately, I have never been confronted with this myself. But according to those who have, those few days, those few hours spent face-to-face with this person constitute a precious and truly sacred moment of sharing. Inside this moment, the past they have shared, the parts of their respective pasts that the other has never known, but also the future that both will one day experience together – all these moments are evoked, evaluated, and understood. The verb « mitoru » includes this entire process. In reality, this extremely intimate and emotional dialogue takes place at the dying person’s bedside. But in the world of fiction, why not stretch time and space out to however long the process requires, narrating it in the form of a « journey »? This is the audacious premise upon which the original novel Kishibe no tabi was built.

  • Articulations of Salaryman Masculinity in Shôwa and Post-Shôwa Japan by Romit Dasgupta, University of Western Australia
    Volume 15, Number 1 • Fall 2017 Articulations of Salaryman Masculinity in Shôwa and Post-Shôwa Japan by Romit Dasgupta, University of Western Australia Abstract: This paper looks at Japan over the Shôwa (1925—1989) and post- Shôwa, Heisei (1989— ) periods through the discourse of masculinity embodied in the urban, middle-class white- collar “salaryman.” As a sort of “Everyman” of corporate Japan, particularly over the 1960s-1990s, the salaryman came to signify both Japanese masculinity in general, and more specifically Japanese corporate culture. In this regard the discourse of masculinity signified by the salaryman could have been regarded as the culturally privileged hegemonic masculinity. Moreover, despite the corporate re- structurings and socio-economic and cultural shifts in Japan since the 1990s, the salaryman continues to be pivotal to the ways in which Japanese corporate culture, Japanese masculinity, and indeed Japanese national identity continue to be framed. This paper traces the emergence of the discourse of the salaryman in the first decades of the twentieth century, its entrenchment in the post-World War II (postwar) decades as the hegemonic blueprint for Japanese masculinity, and its apparent fragmentation over the decades of economic slowdown since the 1990s.

Three aliens travel to Earth on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for a mass invasion. Having taken possession of human bodies, the visitors rob the hosts of their essence – good, evil, property, family, belonging – leaving only hollow shells, which are all but unrecognizable to their loved ones. Equally hilarious, thrilling, and profound, BEFORE WE VANISH reminds audiences of the continued strength of one of Japanese cinema's most unique auteurs – and the value of the human spirit. INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR KIYOSHI KUROSAWA (Translated from Japanese) WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TURN “BEFORE WE VANISH”, A WELL-KNOWN THEATRE PLAY IN JAPAN, INTO YOUR NEXT FILM?

INHALT LANG Wenn der Bramul, der mythische Fisch des Aydar-Sees, nicht ins Netz gehen will, liegt das daran, dass er den Geruch von Frauen nicht mag: Der usbekische Fischer, der vom japanischen Fernsehteam beim Erkunden der Zentralasiatischen Republik gefilmt wird, macht sich erst gar nicht die Mühe, sich Yoko mithilfe des Dolmetschers zu erklären.

His relationship with his wife Narumi (Masami Nagasawa) had been on the rocks, but now Shinji is calmer and kinder than before, which only serves to exasperate Narumi further. Shinji also has a bizarre new daily routine of strolling around the neighborhood and engaging strangers in deep, conceptual conversations with no apparent purpose. Elsewhere in town, a family is brutally murdered, and journalist Sakurai (Hiroki Hasegawa) begins to investigate the odd circumstances of the killing. As an ominous mood spreads over an otherwise ordinary town, Sakurai and Narumi each try to understand what lies behind the spiraling chaos. One startling discovery leads to another, and they soon realize the psychological and spiritual essence of all humanity is at stake.

    A Kiyoshi Kurosawa Film To the Ends of the Earth A Kiyoshi Kurosawa Film To the Ends of the Earth (Tabi no Owari Sekai no Hajimari) Starring Atsuko Maeda Ryo Kase Shota Sometani Adiz Radjabov Tokio Emoto 2019 / 120min / Japan-Uzbekistan-Qatar / 2.39 / 5.1ch / Color © 2019 “To the Ends of the Earth” Film Partners / UZBEKKINO Introduction Set against the stunning scenery of the silk road, To the Ends of the Earth is an adventure of the heart. Directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa based on his original screenplay, To the Ends of the Earth tells the story of a young Japanese woman named Yoko who finds her cautious and insular nature tested when she travels to Uzbekistan to shoot the latest episode of her travel variety show. As a master of mise en scene, Kurosawa orches- trates the film’s stirring blend of images, sound, and music. At the same time, To the Ends of the Earth charts new territory in Kurosawa’s filmography, imparting the freshness of a young director with a veteran creator’s touch. Following its successful nationwide release in Japan on June 14, 2019, To the Ends of the Earth was selected as the closing film of the 72nd Locarno Film Festival’s legendary outdoor Piazza Grande program, boasting an audience of approximately 8,000 people for its international premiere. Synopsis Yoko hosts a popular global travel show, yet is cautious and insular like many young Japanese. But she has a bigger dream. On assignment in Uzbeki- stan, Yoko and her small TV crew attempt to catch a mythical fish but fail.

  • And Post-Shôwa Japan Through Salaryman Articulations
    Snapshots of Shôwa (CE 1926-89) and Post- Shôwa Japan Through Salaryman Articulations By Romit Dasgupta, University of Western Australia Asia Pacific Perspectives v15n1. Online Article Introduction1 Nations (and national identities) are constituted as much through ideologies of gender, both in relation to women and femininity, and men and masculinity, as other ideologies such as those of class or race or ethnicity.2 This applies to Japan, and the country’s processes of industrialization, modernization and nation-building from the late-nineteenth century during the Meiji Period (1868-1912), right through the Taishô (1912-1925), Shôwa (1925-1989) and post- Shôwa, Heisei (1989- ) periods of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.3 At one level “men” have historically been pivotal to discourses and ideologies on nations and nation-states.4 However, it was really not until the 1980s and 1990s that “masculinity” (and “men”) began being interrogated as a construct. A growing body of academic and non-academic literature started to draw attention to the reality that rather than being a fixed, biologically- determined essence, “masculinity” is constructed, shaped, “crafted” in response to socio-cultural, economic, political, and other considerations.5 Furthermore, rather than a singular form of masculinity, just one way of “being a man,” there are a myriad of masculinities, at any one time. Within these there are hierarchies of power defining the relationships between these various masculinities; the discourse of masculinity that has the greatest ideological power and hold may be thought of the hegemonic form of masculinity.6 The hegemonic form can be considered as a cultural “ideal” or “blueprint” which, by-and-large, cannot be perfectly attained by most men.
