Hirose Suzu is doubtless a star though, her vocal performance here, not least her perfect deployment of vocal fry in a few choice moments, is deliciously chilling.

Come to think of it, the more apt comparison might be with that film Amsterdam from a few years ago, but it seems like I might’ve been one of the few people that enjoy that.

The beauty of the imagery was something that I found lacking in the Kurosawa’s Wife of a Spy, though plot-wise there was probably more to that film.

That said, I’ve never seen anyone gain and then overcome crippling obsessive-compulsive tendencies so quickly, if you’re wondering about the level at which the drama is pitched.

Pretty often to a fault (the costumes always seem freshly-tailored and spotless, despite the poverty of the characters), it does however contain possibly the best Charleston scene of the 21st century.

Yeah it’s a great programme, we could do with something similar in Ireland. The first few years I think I got to most I hadn’t seen too, but, generally being a night owl, accidentally dropping off in a few of them! 😅

It’s a great way to allow younger cinephiles the chance to see some classics from before their time on the big screen. I believe there was also a way to vote for the next season’s films too.

Happy to see the “10am Film Festival” is still going in its 14th year. I was here for the first few. They play a classic film at 10 every morning for a week for a discounted rate at participating cinemas across Japan. This season’s got some western classics, Ozu’s Munekata Sisters and much more.
