Truly a blockbuster by documentary standards. Many people were scratching their heads, but it does reveal something missing in domestic documentary. Humor and melodrama. I'd love to see filmmakers tap that as a resource, make it a part of the toolkit. I especially think about the the political documentary, which is so very sober.

>> 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.

>>> Wouldn’t Hara’s asbestos film be up for consideration this year? He must be furious. Mikako is a very competent television director, and I guess that says a lot about where Japanese doc is at right now.
