Shochiku taps Kore-eda for samurai pic

by Mark Pollard

Shochiku Films are keeping the jidai geki flames burning bright even as production on Yoji Yamada's third samurai film One-Line Samurai (Bushi no Ichibun) gears up and two fantasy chambara titles released in 2005 are put on the auction block. The studio has brought arthouse film director Hirokazu Kore-eda on board to helm his first samurai movie.

Hana Yori Mo Naho deals with a troubled samurai warrior and a widow. It stars pop idol Junichi Okada (Hard Luck Hero), Rie Miyazawa (Twilight Samurai), and Tadanobu Asano (Zatoichi). The film is now in production and planned for a release in spring 2006.

Kore-eda is an interesting choice for a jidai geki helmer. He's well regarded as a dramatic film director with a knack for dealing with the topic of death. However, I can't put the excruciatingly static framing that dominates much of Maborosi (1995) out of mind. I (half-jokingly) envision an entire sword duel carried out from one offset angle as two opponents motionlessly stare each other down for several uninterrupted minutes.

Miyazawa also starred in the swordplay fantasy Ashura earlier this year. Shochiku is presenting this film and the effects-laden ninja pic Shinobi, released back in September, at this year's American Film Market festival, which begins today.

"Delectable" might be another good choice. :)

yes a delectable dish....i like the alliteration.

"Scrumptious?"

bmwracer wrote:"Scrumptious?"

nice synonym....

i still love delicious though.....it's elicits a much more sensual image.

in japanese slang the word "yabai" comes to mind... normally means dangerous, but in slang can mean like terrific, cool, amazing.


you can use it in reference to different things....

like the picture above

I think Rie Miyazawa deserves a lot of credit for becoming whom she has become: a marvelous actress of considerable talent. In terms of her ethereal beauty, her major acting skills, and her wonderful film performances in recent years, she reminds me so much of Audrey Hepburn.

she has to be the most well recognized japanese actress outside of japan..and deservingly so. she should have at least had a role in memoirs of geisha instead of picking THREE chinese actresses.

Agreed.

don't you think? i mean she's already deftly proved that she can act in period roles with amazing competence and skill. and it would have obviated the need for language coaching...because i've heard rie miyazawa speak in older honorific forms of japanese and i doubt that you can adequeately teach that to a non-native speaker without extensive lecture and practice.

all i know is this those chinese actors better come across sounding more authentic than Lucy Liu did when she spoke Japaneser in Kill Bill v.1...i almost yacked when i heard that shiet.

I can't but help think (know?) that those actresses were chosen because they are known quantities in the U.S....

Sure, they're talented, but they ain't Japanese. :shakehead: :grumble:
