Synopsis:
Fantasy merges with reality in this unique mystery-thriller, inspired by the work of controversial Japanese author Edogawa Rampo. A woman has murdered her husband in a manner very similar to a killing depicted in an unpublished work of Rampo’s, which the government has banned. After meeting the murderess, the famous writer is surprised to see that she also bears an uncanny physical resemblance to the character who sprung from his imagination. Rampo soon becomes so obsessed with her that he makes the woman a protagonist in his next novel as well. However, complications develop when Rampo starts imagining himself inside the fictional world he’s creating. Before long, it’s difficult for him — and the viewer — to distinguish the boundaries between fantasy and reality.

Plot/Synopsis
The story takes place on a small island near the main island of Okinawa, with many of the characters are trying to come to terms with their past and present. On the cliff that skirts the shore of the small island, sits an open-air burial ground containing the skull of a kamikaze pilot who was shot down during the last days of World-War II. When the wind blows through the bullet hole in the skull, it produces a whistling sound, revered by the inhabitants as the Crying Wind.

Okinawa is a place where the past and present are folded into one. The unhealed scars of World War II, the horrors that the Okinawan people faced at the hand of the Japanese Imperial soldiers, and the trials that the Okinawan faced and still face today fill the background and story of this film.

Fuon (The Crying Wind, 2004) is based on a series of stories by Medoruma Shun, a prize-winning writer from Okinawa, who also wrote the screenplay and is directed by Higashi Yoichi.

* Runtime: 42 min.
* Cast: Kristine Kintana, Dante Perez, Willy Fernandez

Plot/Synopsis
Three digital shorts drawn from the 2009 Jeonju International Film Festival in South Korea. Hong Sang-soo (Woman on the Beach) directed the slyly humorous Lost in the Mountains, in which a young writer from Seoul impulsively drives to Jeonju, rekindles an affair with an old professor, and as a result upends her relationships with two close friends. Naomi Kawase’s wispy, allusive Koma follows a Japanese-Korean man on his journey to the legendary Mount Miwa region, where he’s drawn to an ethereal beauty. And in Lav Diaz’s sluggishly paced, poorly acted Butterflies Have No Memories, shot in 4:3 mode and in his trademark B&W, is about an affluent Canadian who encounters social unrest after returning to her declining hometown in the Philippines.

An excellent compilation of shorts marred only by Lav Diaz’s Butterfly Have No Memories submission and dreadful acting by his usual ensemble of actors. The only bright spot is that you don’t have to sit through eight hours of nonsense that over-rated director Diaz presents.

Plot/Synopsis

One day Mr Sugiyama sees a beautiful girl leaning out of the window of a dancing acadamy. he is fascinated by her and
eventually signs up for dancing lessons. He is ashamed of his dancing and afraid of ridicule. He hides the fact that he
is attending dancing classes from his colleagues and family.
There is a hilarious scene in the mensroom at the office when Sugiyama and Watanabe, a workmate who also dances, are
interrupted practising some dance steps. There are many other funny and warm-hearted scenes.
The ending is not a fairytale, but it leaves the viewer feeling good.
This movie helped me to understand the Japanese people a little better. It is a warm and very worthwhile film to see.
