[KineJapan] Films about handicapped people?

[lucile druet]

Hi  Susanne,

Hope your student is well and ready to explore the wide range of Japanese
movies about handicap...

Maybe somebody else from the list already gave you those references, but
here is my list of movies that might be of interest…

1. depicting a vagabond-minstrel blind women (or goze 瞽女)

- Ballad of Orin / はなれ瞽女おりん(1977) / Dir. Masahiro Shinoda


2. depicting a *samurai*-vagabond-minstrel blind women ;-)

- Ichi / イチ (2008) / Dir. Fumihiko Sori


3. a young boy crippled after a car accident who gets a robot to take his
place at school etc…

- Hinokio / ヒノキオ (2005) / Dir. Takahiko Akiyama


4. a seinen boy who gets to live in a wheelchair after a bike accident and
finds Aikido as a way to handle his handicap

- Aiki (2002) / Dir. Daisuke Tengan


one last one,  although it is a South Korean movie,
I would suggest Oasis (2002) / Dir. Lee Chang Dong, which is about a woman
with cerebral palsy…


all the best,


Lucile

> That is why I turn to our list for help: any help is welcome.
> Thank you very much
