Category: Foreign
Run time: 74 minutes
Director: Yasuzo Masumura
Starring: Hiroshi Kawaguchi, Hitomi Nozoe, Aiko Mimasu, Eitaro Ozawa, Saiko Mima
This time around, it’s a teen romance showing an initial blend and balance towards a slightly less individual film from this great director, but one that shows the skill with compromise which allows such films to both attain a regular audience and treat them to something new. Here hidden beneath the obvious, remains much more to be discovered about a man who’s work is far more layered than sometimes initially appears to be the case and it’s akin to the social dramas of certain key directors that still maintain a much more solid and longstanding reputation to this day. This film, and it’s initial reaction, clearly shows signs of setting his reputation into place, and many great films that were to follow, for this alone it’s worth delving into. Kinichi and Akiko meet when they visit their fathers in prison. After successfully gambling on a bicycle race, they spend an enjoyable day together at the beach. Akiko, who tries to make money as an artist's model to pay for her mother's medical expenses, now has to find 100,000 yen to pay off the company from which her father embezzled. Kinichi also requires 100,000 yen as bail for his father, who is accused of election fraud. Kinichi tries to borrow 100,000 yen from his mother, whom he has not seen for three years.
