Thanks for posting this Resop. I haven't seen any of them but it's definitely interesting and helpful for me to make an attempt on Contemporary Japanese Cinema.

havent check them all too. So far The third murder, Before We Vanish where i longing to mainly because my fave directors

Yeh looks interesting. Do you have the death penalty in Japan?

yo welcom camo
kinejun definitely more reliable imo for they kind of list especially for spotting more small production and arthouse movies, where academy prize in current years got more highlight for mainstream appeal.

yeah them do still have it

Rarely used I would think, especially when a self proclaimed cannibal who became such a fan idol was able to walk free.

ah that guy, i forgot his name lol. probably more like the thing happen in foreign then affected his prosecution i guess, idk. It's still weird tho' how he become local celeb temporarily. He didnt even claimed as mentally ill as i remember

i seek some data and there still punishment each years i seen.

Found it. Did you mean issei sagawa @Dani8
It came to said he was legally insane by the time

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issei_Sagawa

That's the one, Reso. There was a lot of talk about him when I lived there. Frightening.

too creepy for what he did. remember seen the gruesome pic of his sole victim, quickly closed, cant stand it.
I blame the media tho' for what he became circus freak. How long you lived there dani? Are yiu see him live on tv by that time

Yes pretty horrific. And you can always hand it to the media, Reso. They love stirring this kind of thing up. It went on for years according to my friends.
I lived there for over a year. Really great experience to throw myself into the middle of such a different culture.

pic from last night,

I've seen two Koreeda films so far (Like Father, Like Son and Nobody Knows) and they were both breathtaking experiences.
I can't wait to see his latest output. I'm glad to see that he's such a productive filmmaker. Much to explore!

great i ll recommend Still Walking and After Life right on your alley.
there much of his intriguing filmography. his movie debut Maborosi no Hikari probably him at the most typical slow arthouse. Distance could be confused but it's still show his nature as serious auteur following After Life. Air Doll is probably where most of mix reception , i consider it his lesser and weak work but i see why people also love it. the hidden gem i'll say it stand for I WIsh and often trying underwhelmed by ppl, After the Storm. Our little Sister could be said his decent attempt but feel good movie, the sweetest from him so far.
