Storekeeper
On August 9, 1945, the Americans dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. This film, based on a story by Mitsukaru Inoue, describes the daily life of people in Nagasaki the day before that fateful event. It presents the human drama of people's lives, and their feelings of joy and sadness. These include a newlywed couple, an expectant mother, and lovers who must say farewell because the boy is called to serve in the army. Each of these people, like others in the city, hoped to live with their dreams for ‘tomorrow’. But tomorrow never comes for them, as their lives are brought to an abrupt and unexpected end. Knowing how the story ends, in this case, doesn't detract from it at all; rather, it enhances the emotional impact, which is further heightened by the poignant musical score from Teizo Matsumura. 'Ashita' is the first film in Kazuo Kuroki's 'War Requiem Trilogy,' which also includes 'Utsukushii Natsu Kirishima' (2002) and 'Chichi to Kuraseba' (2004).

The culturally isolated, nomadic Seburi people of western Japan are the subject of this tragedy about a few of the community's members who especially experience difficulties as modern Japan encroaches on their world. The setting is World War II, and conflicts have already arisen when the military police come to take Seburi men away into the army. Still following their own customs that can be harsh at times, and are particularly cruel to women (women must give birth alone and unaided, a woman's adultery is punished by burying her up to her neck in the earth and then leaving her for days), the Seburi are mainly treated with fear and animosity by the non-Seburi townspeople of the region. Along with the hardships arising from cultural clashes, nature's own vagaries present other challenges to the Seburi -- who still lived in tents until the 1950s. Winter avalanches and snowstorms cause as much havoc as the tensions engendered by the slow encroachment of the modern world.

Teruyan
이마무라에게 처음 칸영화제 그랑프리를 안겨준 작품. 일부 평자들은 와 와 같은 반열의 걸작으로 평가한다. 시대도 장소도 확실하지 않은 일본의 옛날 산속 마을이 무대다. 이곳에는 식량 부족 때문에 사람은 70살이 되면 자식에게 업혀 나라야마 정상에 버려지는 한국의 고려장 같은 풍습이 이어져오고 있다. 오린이라는 헌신적인 노인은 진심으로 슬퍼하는 자식에게 업혀 산으로 향하지만 이것이 신의 부름이라고 생각하며 순응한다. 기노시타 게이스케의 58년작을 리메이크한 것이지만, 이마무라는 여기다 원작자의 에로틱한 소설 하나를 더 끌고 들어와 스토리를 뒤섞어놓는다. 죽음을 향한 노인들의 산행 와중에 인구 억제를 목적으로 장남 이외엔 결혼할 수 없다는 마을의 규율 때문에 벌어지는 성적 소동과, 동물들의 성행위가 교차된다. 이마무라가 평생에 걸쳐 묘사해온 인간이 지닌 외설성과 원시성이 죽음과 마찬가지로 하나의 자연적 과정임이 암시된다. 지나치게 포르노적이라는 비판이 일기도 했지만, 대부분의 서구 평론가들은 이마무라의 대표작으로 올려놓는다.
