1726, Sanchu, Prefectura de Okayama: los agricultores negocian con el dominio feudal con el fin de buscar la exención del aumento de los impuestos. Las luchas internas conducen a la supresión de la clase samurai, y los agricultores se unen para la batalla. Es un momento de injusticia, preparando el escenario para la valentía y el sacrificio. Sin embargo, esos atrevidos personajes quedan en gran medida fuera de pantalla en la brillante película de Juichiro Yamasaki. En cambio, el cobarde protagonista Jihei (Naohisa Nakagaki) enfrenta una crisis de los riesgos de la rebelión y sus consecuencias que resuenan con nuestro momento contemporáneo. En este raro e independiente jidaigeki, los hermosos canales de fotografía digitales y digitales de Kenta Tawara refiguran a luminarias del cine japonés clásico, con secuencias animadas de Tomomichi Nakamura y puntuación experimental de Ayako Sasaki.

Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump between 1981 and 1985, -Black Angels- was an action manga about a group of vigilantes delivering justice to evil-doers who had escaped the law.

Kumiko Hoshizaki’s “Akane Sasu Heya” is the story of Maki, a 20-something temp who is sick of her boring job and life in general. The rather bizarre solution she comes up with is to conceive a child behind her boyfriend’s back. Makoto Nagahisa offers the much more impressionistic “Frog.” The story meanders around a bunch of unrelated characters, using experimental techniques like repeated scenes, hallucinatory visuals, blurred shots and disconnected sounds. Lastly, we have “Bouquet Garni,” a much more conventional work from director Junpei Hatano. The plot is centered on a reporter, the relative of a kidnapping victim, and a woman who is obsessed with the case.

He is freeloading off his girlfriend Kiriko, who works as a tattoo artist. One day, he is offered to do a rather eccentric job from an otaku-looking public employee named Nirasawa, who claims that Masaru’s voice is necessary in activating a giant robot named Land Zeppelin. He goes on straight-faced that the Earth is about to be attacked by Saturnians, and the robot is necessary in the fight against them. At first, Masaru ignores this far-fetched story, but one day he is framed in a dangerous job he takes on together with his friend Kou, and is driven into a tight squeeze. What will happen to Masaru? Does this robot Land Zeppelin really exist?

This new version of Nagasaki's Yami utsu shinzô (1982) is neither a remake nor a sequel. It is both those things, and at the same time it is also a documentary, a portrait of the consequences of passing time, and an occasionally very funny reflection on what the hell the point is of all this filmmaking business anyway. Shigeru Muroi and Takashi Naito, back then young hopefuls willing to take chances, now among the most established and recognisable actors in Japan, return to play the roles they assumed in the 1982 film, each of their characters having gone their own way. Alongside, another young couple (Honda and the ever-brilliant Eguchi) find themselves in the exact same situation as their older counterparts 25 years earlier. Their paths cross, an opportunity arises: for the elder two to redeem part of their own lives, for the younger couple to find a helping hand in their darkest hour.
