Hanafuda movies

[Ariane Beldi]

Hello !

 

I would definitely recommend the animation film “Summer Wars”, by Mamoru
Hosoda.  Actually, Hanafuda is an important part of the plot in this movie,
as it plays the role of tradition coming to the rescue of  high-tech
modernity.  It has come out on DVD in France, with French, Dutch and Spanish
subs (if any can also be useful to you), but unfortunately, no English subs.
There is an American edition due to come out on February 15, 2011, which
definitely has English subs:

sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1293704489&sr=1-2> &ie=UTF8&qid=1293704489&sr=1-2.
Besides this movie, I don’t have any other example to offer. Actually, I
didn’t know at all about Hanafuda until I watched Summer Wars.  

 

I hope this helps somehow! 

 

Kind regards,

What's a decent Japanese film that features a hanafuda (flower card) game

in which we can clearly see the cards and which figures in the plot somehow?

Ideally the film would be available on DVD and have English subtitles.
