Currently in need for some recommendations. i know the list is random, but pretty much Japanese Cinema for me has no limits. Any that you think is personal to any of you, I am willing to watch. Warning.... number 3 is not for everyone but if you can, finish it to the end if you would plase

Watched it after hearing about Yuko Takeuchi's death. It's a strange plot in a sea of strange Japanese movie plots but still worth your time.

I'm looking for comedies that are clever and charming, similar to Fish Story, Summer Time Machine Blues, Welcome Back Mr. McDonald (anything by Koki Mitani really) and Kisaragi. Thank you! I love when you can't tell the direction the story is going but then when everything pieces together it is perfect!

I was on a flight to Japan and there was an interesting movie on someone’s tv. It looked like a futuristic dystopian Japan ruled by the flamboyant upper class who enslaved the lower class. The upper class was dressed in crazy clothes and crazy color pallets(like the hunger games). I think it was about the enslaved lower class rising up against the system. I think I remember a seen were the lower class are in a mine or boiler room(somewhere dark, hot, and dirty). I also think I remember something about it being set in Osaka, and that the city had broken off into its own government. If anyone has any information please help me out.

A while ago, the boutique blu ray distributor Arrow Video released The Game Trilogy. I took a chance on it because I knew the composer, Yuji Ohno from his other works. What I discovered was a very interesting trilogy that is, while a little clunky, is very entertaining. It of course stars the man who would later influence Spike from Cowboy Bebop, but its director is a veritable master of Japanese action films. Check it out if you get the chance.

i have been searching literally everywhere for this movie with eng subtitles but could'nt find it anywhere. please help me find a source to watch this.

I've been running a small Asian Cinema YouTube channel for a year, and trying out different bits of content. I hope people will like this, and give the channel some support and love!

Where do you guys find the movies as i only know jp-films and internet archive both have been very helpful to watch a variety of movies and then youtube ofc but like if you really into the movies live action or animated you are not gonna get all the movies . So other than that whare do you go to find ?

Most of the movie takes place in a dining room, this family has breakfast and the young girl goes to school, something happens and she wakes up at the same morning over and over again, i remember something about a watch, and when she figures it out demons appear in the apartment...

anyone have any ideas of the title?

Anyone have the link to it on youtube? I heard it’s available there but I can’t seem to find it when i search it up, it would be really helpful if someone could link it for me please and thank you.
