エロス+虐殺 (Erosu purasu gyakusatsu; Eros + Massacre), dir. Yoshida Yoshishige (aka Yoshida Kijū)

Reading about Seitō, I had to think of this incredibly artistic political film about Itō Noe and Ōsugi Sakae by one of my favorite directors of all time, which I'd hereby like to recommend. Watch the 3.5-hour original cut if you can.

EUREKA (ユリイカ), dir. Aoyama Shinji

Sadly, this is the only good entry in Aoyama's Kitakyūshū Saga (in fact, it's a masterpiece). What a shame the other two (Helpless/Sad Vacation) are just kinda meh, but fortunately, this one works perfectly on its own.

新幹線大爆破 (Shinkansen dai-bakuha; The Bullet Train), dir. Satō Jun'ya

A very entertaining thrill ride (unlike the neon-lit crap that came out of Hollywood more recently) that heavily inspired the movie Speed, only this came out almost twenty years earlier.

I agree with David Kalat (J-Horror guide book)

I remember when I noticed a change of direction in the Japanese Cinema industry. Movies from the 1980's and 1990's had their own style until late 1990's when RING came to change the Japanese Horror Cinema.

A Page of Madness (狂った一頁, 1926) – Dir. Teinosuke Kinugasa

Thought lost for decades, this silent film is a triumph of pure visual storytelling. Rejecting intertitles entirely, it uses frantic editing and expressionistic lighting to create a hypnotic, avant-garde experience. A brilliant achievement that feels incredibly modern and ahead of its time.

Takashi Miike is one of my favorite masterminds inside the Japanese Cinema.
I should get some movies for my collection in a near future. Audition and One Missed Call are the greatest ones!

Zeit, wieder einmal diesen Klassiker anzuschauen. 📽️

Bald im Kino. Nagisha Oshima "Im Reich der Sinne".

Today I’d like to share a film
I watched at the end of last year that has stayed with me.

“There’s nothing interesting about my everyday life…”
“I’m probably no good anyway…”

For those kinds of days, when such thoughts quietly creep in,
this film gently nudges you forward.

PERFECT DAYS —
The Everyday Life of a Tokyo Toilet Cleaner in the World’s Cleanest Country

Feel free to take a peek!
