The TBS drama "Vivant" unfolds in a version of Japan that prizes diversity and tolerance. Now, ahead of the debut of its second season, that premise feels increasingly at odds with today's reality. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/07/25/tv-streaming/vivant-season-one-recap/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #tvstreaming #tbs #masatosakai #kojiyakusho

The bittersweet nostalgia of the first season of ‘Vivant’

[This review contains spoilers for season one of “Vivant.”] “Vivant” tells the story of bumbling businessman Yusuke Nogi (Masato Sakai), who gets wrapped up in an international espionage plot. This inept salaryman turns out to be a king among spies and a member of Bepan, an organization tas…

Ein Film über Toiletten in Japan, dessen Vorgeschichte schon so unwahrscheinlich, war, dass er von keinem anderen Regisseur der Welt hätte gemacht werden können, als Wim Wenders. Dem Deutschen. Aus einem Werbefilm über ein Kunstprojekt wurde eine Geschichte über einen Ort. Und aus der Geschichte über einen Ort wurde ein Film über einen Mann und das Leben. (ARD, Wh.)

Zhang Ziyi tanzt in Kimono und Stolz durch eine Welt, die nicht die ihre ist. Und das ist ein Hollywood-Film über japanische „Traditionen“, gedreht von einem US-Regisseur, gespielt von chinesischen Stars, gesprochen in Englisch. Also kein Ausflug in eine andere Kultur, sondern deren totale Aneignung. Schönheit wird hier nur ausgestellt, aber leider nicht verstanden. (ZDF, Wh.)

The film presents both a bio of Takizawa Bakin, whose writing had a large impact on Japanese pop culture, and a snazzy live-action digest of his influential novel. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/10/31/film/hakkenden-fiction-and-reality/ #culture #film #takizawabakin #fumihikosori #kojiyakusho
