After a sell-out run of Japanese films in March last year we had to bring five more of the best of contemporary Japanese movies.
All tickets are free.
Two old friends visit their childhood schoolyard where and reminins about their youth as violent bullies. Directed Takeshi Kitano is recognised as a giant of Japanese cinema. The film has an air of melancholic realism that makes it rise above other Japanese movies of the same theme. While never aiming for a socially realistic critique, Kazuyuki's eccentric depiction of the poor and depressed milleu of these boys and the choice of narrator renders their life both animalistic and sadly nostalgic. Tickets available 30 minutes prior to screening.
