The first movie was The Journalist by Michihito FUJII, based on the book with the same title by journalist Isoko MOCHIZUKI, who is also portrayed in the documentary film i -DOCUMENTARY OF THE JOURNALIST-, in the Docu Section of the Festival, and also present at the Far East Film Festival where we will try to see it at the end of the month.
The event was a demonstration of Rakugo: Japanese Comedy With Katsura Sunshine. It was nice to discover this 400 year-old form of Japanese Comedy, performed in English by maybe the only non-Japanese doing it in the World. To discover this Art like we did, you can have a look at Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo YouTube channel, his Facebook page or the page for his Broadway show.
Finally the second movie, A Life Turned Upside Down: My Dad’s An Alcoholic by Kenji KATAGIRI, turned out to be the best we have seen in the Festival so far. Dramatic, sad but with some hilarious moments.
You can find below our video comment on those three events, as well as some pictures.
