Osamu Takizawa

Shintarô Katsu, Ayako Wakao

My favorite Zatoichi film.
No other Zatoichi film compares to this one. All the actors in the film do excellent performances. The humour in this film is the diversity (yet complementive) personalities of Zatoichi and Yojimbo. If two great actors who play two great characters who argue to each ...

Criterion, 2007

Gears of war

Kwaidan - Criterion Collection

Rentaro Mikuni, Michiyo Aratama

Criterion, 2000

Immerse yourself in this haunting beauty
You know, it's sad. Horror films, actually any genre of films, just don't come close to this anymore. They pale in comparison with the surreal tone, the haunting atmosphere, the elaborate and eerie set designs, the hypnotic sound effects. These four ghost stories ...

Boy's Choir

Atsushi Ito, Sora Tôma

Picture This, 2006

rare gem
I watched this film without expecting anything. To be honest, I first thought it would be a cheesy drama kind of movie since it was listed on gay & lesbian selection (why?)... Turned out I was completely wrong. The story is sophisticated, very emotional, excellent ...
