Tatsumi regnes fremdeles for å være en av de aller viktigste mangaka i japansk historie. Eric Khoo til Film fra Sør og Serieteket 2 av 2.

It is by far the most emotional journey we have undertaken as a studio and the experience will continue to shape us for years to come." Mike Wiluan, Executive Producer TATSUMI PRESS RELEASE 14 APR 2011 Page 0 "It’s been an amazing journey composing for my dad. Starting off in 2008 with the movie, My Magic. I thought it would be a one time thing, but since music meant so much, I decided to continue and will never regret it. The three pieces from Tatsumi, after the arrangement by Christine Sham, have come a long way, and I love each and everyone of them." Christopher Khoo, Composer Yoshihiro Tatsumi started the gekiga movement, because he was heavily influenced by cinema. It's poetically fitting that Eric Khoo has decided to honour this master and his vision by making this film; things have just come full circle.

Aesthetics of the Pathetic: the Portrayal of the Abject in Singaporean Cinema
ACCESS: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN EDUCATION 2012, VOL. 31, NO. 2, 138–147 Aesthetics of the Pathetic: The Portrayal of the abject in Singaporean cinema Chua Beng Huata and Meisen Wongb aNational University of Singapore; bCenter for Metropolitan Studies, Berlin ABSTRACT A central figure in documentaries and commercial films in 1990s Singapore cinema is the abject figure in various guises, ranging from the urban poor to migrant sex workers from the other parts of the region. These abject figures make their living on the street and are thus fully visually exposed to every passing eye and lens. Set against the backdrop of Singapore’s triumphal national economic success story, these figures are aestheticised in visual representation, and stand as immediate disruption, critique and indictment of the long ruling government. Ironically, the same figures could just as easily be represented as ‘heroic’ figures of strength, self-reliance and individualism, qualities that are essential to Singapore’s success. Introduction to the abject The abject—literally one who is low in position, condition or status and even degraded— has enjoyed a particularly enduring status in film: as individuals living in penurious circumstances, immortalised by Charlie Chaplin’s iconic portrayal of the street urchin; as characters whose narratives are reflections or reactions to the Real by Italian neorealist cinema; as compelling alienated anti-heroes who embody non-mainstream values in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976); and, generally, in the characterisation and representation of the grotesque or the kitsch. In all these instances, the portrayal of abjectness is a reaction to impoverished conditions of reality.

Even as the era’s blockbusters dazzled with new digital wizardry, independent cinema was entering a new golden age. Its auteurs—the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Richard Linklater and Wong Kar Wai—became the arbiters of cool, and their distinctive visual languages shaped the emotional palette of a whole generation. In Singapore, where a once-thriving film industry dominated by Shaw Brothers and Cathay-Keris had withered by the late 1970s, everyone had gotten used to not having movies of our own. And then, suddenly, there was Eric Khoo. This year marks the 20th anniversary of his sophomore feature film,12 Storeys, which featured interwoven stories about the residents of a single HDB block.

He uncover a lot more than family secrets and delicious recipes. DIRECTOR’S NOTE I have always been intrigued by food and the role that it plays in our lives. As the noted food historian Ben Rogers says, “Food is, after language, the most important bearer of cultural identity”. I feel that what food signifies goes beyond that, it defines who we are and shapes the lives we lead. On top of that, I also think that food is a unifying force. It has the power to bring people together under the most mysterious circumstances. I started work on this project when a producer friend Yukata Tachibana asked if we could work on something to celebrate 50 years of Japan and Singapore’s diplomatic relations. I felt that food would be a perfect vehicle as both countries are crazy about good food and because there are so many stories about food that have moved me. Hence we started to look into the food of each country that we could incorporate into the story.
