Nakashima Tetsuya's debut

[Jasper Sharp]

Hmmm. The plot thickens. A Japanese friend told me "Normally $B$N;z(B relates to the word comes before that, and taking the first
letter of this word and say like $B$[$N;z(B, this $B$[(B stands for $B$[$l$k!J(Bin love),
or someone says she is $B$-$N;z(B means she is crazy because $B$-(B is first
character of $B$-$A$,$$(B(crazy). Also if you say $B$*$s$N;z(B means greatful. So if
you don't know what $B$O(B stands for in the film, you only can translate
"Forgetting HA". HA could be the first letter of someone's name or the
first letter of an object"

Neither make a huge amount of sense!

It's an interesting title, Jasper. "hanoji" is about going round and round in circles$B!D(B Perhaps a title of $B!H(Bbreaking the cycle$B!I(B would work? Good luck.

Dear Kinejapanners,
I'm really trying to work out a decent translated title for this first jishu eiga by Memories of Matsuko director Nakashima Tetsuya:
Hano ji wasurete ($B$O$N;zK:$l$F(B, 1981). (see: http://pff.jp/jp/old/award/1982.html#hanoji)

I don't know if this film has appeared in any of his official english language biographies, and I am certain it hasn't been shown anywhere outside of Japan. The Japanese seems to be intranslatable, or at the very least, ambiguous.

Can anyone help at all?
