Biopic sobre Taiji Tonoyama, actor japonés que interpretó más de 250 personajes a lo largo de su carrera, muchos de ellos en películas dirigidas por el propio Kaneto Shindo. Tonoyama empezó su carrera como actor en los años 50, siendo su primer papel protagonista dentro de una de las películas más aclamadas de Kaneto Shindo, "La Isla Desnuda", rodada íntegramente sin diálogos.

La historia de abandonar a la gente anciana en las montañas se ha preservado en la prefectura de Nagano, en el centro de Japón. Pero un gran número de leyendas similares pueden encontrarse, a modo de cuentos locales, aquí y allá, así como poemas escritos sobre este tema hace cientos de años. ¿Cómo se adapta este concepto a un mundo contemporaneo?

La película muestra cómo se afronta este elemento social en la actualidad, comparado con la antigüedad.

All the protagonists move about in a Tokyo Bar that has an entire wall taken up with a black-and-white reproduction of a photo of Monument Valley. The action starts as Billy the Kid, in full living color, walks out of the photo and gets a job as a waiter. Along with him on the working staff are a samurai straight out of the history books, a G.I. from World War II, and several other anachronistic characters. The plot (as such) revolves around keeping away the brutal mobsters and thugs who dominate the city streets outside of the bar, making the tavern safe for its easily recognized facsimiles of well-known characters.

Action film about a bank robbery.

Producida por Coppola y Lucas, "Mishima" es un retrato biográfico del consagrado autor japonés Yukio Mishima. La película investiga la inquietud interior y las contradicciones de un hombre que trató de alcanzar una imposible armonía entre sí mismo, el arte y la sociedad. La trama se centra en el día en que Mishima conmocionó al mundo, al hacerse en público el seppuku o harakiri (25 de noviembre de 1970), en el Cuartel General del Ejército. El relato está salpicado de flashbacks para contar diversos episodios de su infancia, sus comienzos como escritor, el posterior triunfo profesional, su tranformación en estrella mediática, sus obsesiones por la belleza física y sus ambiguos gustos sexuales, así como la creación de la "Sociedad del Escudo".
