Himizu - (2011)
Japanese angst and dismay over the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and subsequent disaster at the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant are captured painfully and quite beautifully by Himizu, which focuses on one teenage boy, Yuichi (Shôta Sometani) whose life was brutally hard before all of those things happened to his world. His father continually beats him, and when drunk tells him he wishes he'd died so he could collect on the insurance money. His mother is having an affair and has one foot out the door already. His neighbours inside the disaster zone all live in improvised huts, and the family is getting by hiring out boats. Yuichi also has to endure the attentions of a female classmate who has a crush on him - to an obsessive degree, and will stop at nothing to become part of his life. When Yuichi's rage finally erupts in devastating violence, his whole world is torn asunder and he becomes drawn to a pistol a Yakuza left for him - his only way out of this nightmare. I was quite taken by this film, which has an incredibly powerful ending that it builds towards in a crescendo of emotion, fury, sorrow and hopelessness. A little more of it's 129 minute running time could have been trimmed - but I was left with the impression I'd seen a premier Japanese film based around the events of 2011 - close to being a classic.
