[KineJapan] Obayashi's "Last Lecture"

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

I see Obayashi’s この空の花　長岡花火物語　is playing at the Waseda Shochiku on 12/30, and 1/2=5.
Nice to see on the big screen…

At first, I thought this was some unfortunate choice by some insensitive students who have yet to face death in any meaningful way. But then I saw that the event is actually being organized by Terebi Man Union and is being recorded for broadcast on NHK BS1 next year.
