films on minorities in Japan

[n8thaniel heneghan]

Aside from the previously mentioned Go and Pacchigi, there are several other recent films that address the Korean minority experience in Japan.  There's Lee Sang-Il's first feature Ao Chong (2000), Sai Yoichi's Tsuki wa docchi ni deteiru? (1993) and Chi to Hone (2004), and Yoru o kakete (2002), to name a few.  The latter three are adaptations of novels by zainichi author Yan Sogil ("Tsuki wa..." being a rather loose adaptation of "Takushii kyoso kyoku").  If you're looking for slightly older fare, there's also Kyupora no aru machi (1962) and Imamura Shohei's Nianchan (1958).  All these films are widely available on DVD.

Not a film, but in the Hokkaido episode of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain spends time visiting with the Ainu and also on how Americans influenced the food in the region after the war.
