Yama No Anata (Ishii, 2008)

[Sycophant]

Trailers for Katsuhito Ishii's (The Taste of Tea, one of the three most amazing thirds of Funky Forest:the First Contact) latest, a remake of a 1938 film about a blind masseur are available at Twitch (http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/trailers-for-katsuhito-ishiis-next-arrive/). It looks pretty and just ever so slightly strange. I'm up for it.

My appreciation for The Taste of Tea being what it is, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. That said, the clip is too short to really get an understanding of what to expect... a little slapstick and a little melodrama is all I'm picking up.

I think it looks good. I quite liked Taste of Tea and while I enjoyed parts of First Contact, I found it way too disjointed and episodic in an uninteresting way. I'm glad to see him doing something which seems slightly more cohesive.

This is exciting, since I loved Taste of Tea and Funky Forest! But, Sycophant, you said:

Oh. I completely missed it that! :sad:

But, which Ishii segment were you referring to above as "one of the three most amazing" parts?

I love the whole movie, but I think my favorite parts were by Aniki...
