[KineJapan] Kinema Junpo Best Ten 2019

[John Junkerman]

As I recall, Hara was up last year, and he was furious then (Jinsei Fruits
won). But Sennan didn't even appear in the Top 10 last year, so maybe it
was eligible this year. It was in competition for the Mainichi Awards, and
lost to The Fall of Icarus. But Mikami Chie has grown considerably since
she left television, and Okinawa Spy Senshi is a pretty sophisticated and
challenging film. For example, it addresses local Okinawan complicity in
the famous Japanese military killing of Okinawan "spies," and explores
wartime Taketomi and Ishigaki, which haven't gotten much attention.
