5 Japanese movies you might have missed, there must be one you haven't seen

1. "Red medaka"

Red medaka is adapted from the life stories of the famous Rakugo master Tachikawa Tanshi. The lineup of actors can be described as luxurious. The performances of Ninomiya Kazuya and Kitano Takeshi are particularly wonderful, and there are many of them. Rakugo's real appearance is also an unexpected highlight. The film tells the story of Kitano Takeen, the master of a genre of Rakugo, who has recruited several apprentices with different personalities. From the perspective of Ninomiya's role, we can see how these apprentices have become independent agents after experiencing a series of things.

2. The story of "Seagull Canteen"

tells the story of a street corner in Helsinki, the Finnish capital. A Japanese woman, Xinghui, opened a canteen, and later met some interesting people and things by chance. This is an ideal country far from the original homeland, automatically isolated from the noise of the outside world. Women are independent, independent, food, sports and even lifestyle, all women choose. Although everyone is lonely, but gracefully maintains a jealous posture. There is no male participation, and there is no popular lingering and love-hate entanglement. It is sometimes the most difficult to simply present a lifestyle or movie view. This film is suitable for watching alone in the afternoon of the holiday. There is no ups and downs of the plot, no conspiracy, and no bad guys. The three women talk about life and cook food. They are quiet and lazy to watch.

3. "Non-stop"

is a delicate and warm Japanese family movie. It is very strange that it takes two hours to tell the story of a day, but there is no special plot that will make people so moving. The scorching summer, the cicadas in the afternoon, the stone steps up the mountain one by one, the yellow flying butterflies and the sound of frying corn in the kitchen. Watching this movie can always feel one thing disappearing, the piece of glass in front of the lens. European films are linguistic, while Chinese films are narrative, but Hirokazu's films, as a model of Japanese films, are invisible.

4. "Little Forest"

"Little Forest" series is a movie adapted from the original work of cartoonist Daisuke Igarashi. "Little Forest" is divided into four chapters, "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter", which were independently produced as movies, and were released one after another and won praise. The main performance in the movie is food, food practices, materials, and storage of materials. The protagonist often remembers his mother's practices and tastes and tries his best to achieve the taste in his memory. It faintly feels that the protagonist is reminiscing about his mother's past through cooking, as well as a change in his mother's previous views and respect for his mother.

5. "Tokyo Story"

"Tokyo Story" was filmed in 1953, with the background of Japan gradually recovering from the ruins of defeat. Ozu Yasujiro's movies are suitable for tasting carefully, and after repeated chewing, they exude a charming fragrance. In the simple and orderly interior space, the family gathering and scattered, joy and sorrow are expressed. From the perspective of film history, the greatness of "Tokyo Story" needs no more to say. Its transcendent temperament like a spring breeze and its extremely delicate life description are unprecedented in its own way, in a large number of classic movies struggling to pursue drama.
