Movies depicting the 'teens in Japan

[Tim Iles]

Matsumoto Toshio's _Dogura magura_ (1988) is set in the Taisho era, I believe, but we don't get to see much of it--the film's set in an insane asylum, but uses that setting/era/set of characters to comment on contemporary Japan...

I'd actually misread your thread title, and had thought your question was about  movies that depict TEENS--anyone have a favourite selection for that? Shiota Akihiko's _Gaichu_, Morita Yoshimitsu's _Kazoku geimu_... and many more.

Best,

> Watching Takahata's "Gauche the Cellist" (which seems to be set in 1915 or
thereabouts) last night, it dawned on me that one rarely sees the period
1910-1920 depicted in Japanese.  Can anyone else think of films that
depicts this decade in Japan?MEK
