WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 at 7:00 pm



*LEAR ON THE SHORE (Umibe no Lear)*

Japan, 2017  105 minutes  Japanese with English subtitles

Followed by a Q&A session with screen legend Tatsuya Nakadai and

director Masahiro Kobayashi



In this lean, elegiac tragicomedy, Chokitsu Kuwabatake (Nakadai) is trying
to escape from the luxury nursing home where his daughter Yukiko (Mieko
Harada) and son-in-law Yukio (Hiroshi Abe) have stashed him, after forcing
him to write a will leaving them everything. Chokichi has dementia and only
fleetingly recalls their betrayal. But he is a thespian to the core, and
can still recite great chunks of dialog from heralded performances (like
his King Lear). He is determined to find his adoring audience, wherever
they are. When he comes across Nobuko (Haru Kuroki), on the beach, he isn’t
sure if she is an assistant, a fellow actor or, as she claims, his
estranged younger daughter. Does it matter? Chokitsu is free to discourse
at will, and that he does, delivering what may be his penultimate
performance.
