Thanks Matthieu. I knew about Cuba's Lovers, but had it listed as a documentary. Is it definitely fiction? If you can send me more information about Nuclear War (especially, is there a threat that the power station will explode or that a real nuclear war will be triggered?) in November, I'd be very grateful - in less someone else fills me in in the meantime...<br><br>ALEX<br><br><br><b><i>Mathieu Capel <mathieucapel@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I saw these movies some months ago and I cannot remember precisely<br>what they're all about but :<br>1. Evil spirits of Japan, which is actually the third Kuroki's fiction<br>feature, after Silence has no wings and Cuba's lovers (I am not sure<br>about the english title), is a rather strange movie, and may appear<br>actually as an "offbeat yakuza" movie. You have a cat-and-mouse game<br>involving one cop and one
yakuza, but the point is that they both are<br>played by the same Kei Sato (whom you may have seen in almost every<br>Oshima's films in the sixties). Of course this leads Kuroki to play<br>with blurred identities, not so much with some "cops and cirminals are<br>the same" stuff, but does provoke some vertigo effects that are quite<br>stimulating. This film was issued on DVD in Japan last year, as a part<br>of a 3 dvd box (with the two others mentioned above).<br>2. Nuclear war is not at all about Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It is also<br>some kind of detective movie : one guy played by Harada Kazuo arrives<br>on an island which may be one of the Ryukyu's to search for a<br>disappeared girl (?). The results of his inquiries leads him to the<br>nearby nuclear power station...<br>This is all I can do for you now. Sorry...<br>(I am now in Japan, and my dvd's and VHS are in France ; if there's<br>not enough informations running until next week, I shall be able to<br>tell you more
from the 1st of November - but I guess you will be able<br>to find plenty of informations up to that date)<br><br>Mathieu Capel<br></blockquote><br><p>
