Alcoholism is a subject that is often treated less or indirectly in the seventh art (how can we forget Days of Wine and Roses and Leaving Las Vegas or the recent Viyon no tsumi with Tadanobu Asano, the star of this movie) often mythologized and sometimes expression psychological distress and a much larger interior. E 'in the sense that this new film directed by Higashi Y ō ichi, played by Tadanobu Asano finally returned to high levels and a really good Nagasaku Hiromi, perhaps the one who provides the best interpretation . The film is an adaptation of the autobiography written by the journalist and war photographer Kamoshida Yutaka Tsukahara and sees the hero (Tadanobu) struggling with his daily alcohol consumption and difficult relations with the now ex-wife and mangaka Yuki (Nagasaku Hiromi), with two children and mother (KayamaYoshiko). After his last stay in hospital following a fainting for ethyl coma, is persuaded to move to a clinic where, trying to disintossocarsi, meet other stories like his.
The film is a little gem, maybe a bit 'too long, but that is definitely a breath of fresh air in the current scenario because it is a work that deals with a story and a very sensitive issue with an almost documentary style, a simple staging and a photograph in pastel colors, however, injecting moments of dazed and slightly surreal comedy. Tsukahara's obsession with the curry rice that is constantly being denied the clinic is located in a little fun and torment that goes on throughout the film. Higashi succeeds in doing so to create a light atmosphere of suspension, almost apnea, but no less acute, and even dramatic if you will, and that in the very end, with the whole family in front of the sea, turns almost lyrical.
should be emphasized that the success of the film is also due the beautiful proof of acting offered by all protagonists, and Asano Nagasaku primarily, but also that of other co-stars, including two children. Part of the merits of this amalgam is certainly given to Higashi and his troupe, and for the casting for his work on human material available. It 's not the kind of Japanese film that usually passes through the western shores, too short of spectacular and violent, too "normal", so perhaps' to be proved wrong, perhaps starting from the upcoming film events in Frankfurt or Udine. In one of those occasions, it would be also interesting to see him with another film released these days that is Mainichi kaasan (Kaasan Mom's Life), Shota Kobayashi R ō , based dall'autobiografia of Saibara Rieko, that his wife (real) Yutaka Kamoshida, the protagonist of this film. Two autobiographies, two films, the same story told from different viewpoints. [MB]
