Happy weekend, people!

Tag Film Image

I hope you are all well.

I think I’ve survived but I’m still on the move. It’s day 6 of my work week and I’m exhausted after running around every day at my day job. The upside is my hyperactivity has made people happy and one couple thanked me for being cheerful when leaving a gallery. Work tomorrow. Outside of my regular job, I’ve been ploughing on with exercise every morning and the interviews from the Osaka Asian Film Festival with a friend and we’ve got a lot done with one published this week – Akiyoshi Koba, director of Nunchaku and Soul. Also from OAFF was my post about Maggie (2018) and I’ve completed three out of four reviews for another film festival. I also posted about a Kickstarter campaign for a stop-motion horror anime. I’ve got a fresh new interview conducted with the director of that project waiting to be translated. So, yeah, this trailer post has been knocked together at short notice.

In terms of what I have watched this week, everything takes on a distinctly American indie bent with Patterson, The Limits of Control, Funny Haha, Mutual Appreciation. I also re-watched the Sono film Tag and the Hosoda film The Boy and the Beast.

What is released this weekend?

I saw this one at the Osaka Asian Film Festival. It was a cute film about community. Super-manufactured in every aspect but well-intentioned and more about learning how healthcare works.

 

Synopsis: After his father Keizo falls ill, Masato Takahashi reluctantly quits medical university to take over his family’s clinic. Masato has his pride and had been intent on advanced medical research, not giving care to local patients and their families, and he doesn’t hide his feelings on the subject when working with colleagues and care workers like the care manager Natsumi Sato. This leads to him being isolated at work but he begins to change his attitude after meeting patients and starting to understand the value of home medical care.

This human drama depicts the challenges of an ageing society and gives the limelight to some of the hardest working people in society, care workers and medical professionals.
