Merry Christmas, my evil spirit

- Who do you think you are? Are you an evil spirit? - Yes, and one of yours I hope. Even though this is my third time watching Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, I still find myself thrilled by the film's overwhelming emotional power. Directed by Nagisa Oshima, a leading figure of the Japanese New Wave, the film is adapted from the World War II-themed novel The Seed and the Sower and the memoir The Night of the New Moon. Created in the 1980s, the film has long become an undeniable classic, and along

cinejanie: Hikaru Utada later covered that classic song by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and it’s really beautiful—I recommend it! It’s been on my music playlist for a long time.

"Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus": Till the Last Moment

It's extreme. To put it more neutrally, it's pure. It's a documentary but also a work of art, never leaving that room, never leaving that piano. He has passed away, but unlike "Happy

Monster: The Unsuccessful Collaboration Between Koreeda and Sakamoto

After two unsuccessful attempts abroad, Hirokazu Koreeda returned to his familiar territory in Japan, directing the film "Monster," written by Yuji Sakamoto and scored by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Starring Sakura Ando and Eita Nagayama, the film delves into societal suspense, just as his previous work “The Third Murder” in 2017, following the narrative structure of "Rashomon" with its multi-perspective storytelling, unraveling the truth behind a common conflict. Before this, Koreeda had written all his

"Monster" and Hirokazu Koreeda's Ambitions

The film "Monster" remains true to Hirokazu Koreeda's signature style, characterized by an extreme gentleness that doesn't overtly convey sadness, yet leaves a lingering and indelible sense of pain. Koreeda has a knack for capturing emotions with subtlety, and "Monster" exemplifies his ability to imbue scenes with visceral feelings. The director's visual sensibilities shine through, with emotions depicted as flowing like wind and rain against a backdrop of green tones. This delicate yet powerful
