Short Synopsis:
- The End of
Summer: The film
carries forward the lives of the Kohayagawa family, where each wants to do
the best that he can for the family. The widower father- Manbei- often
visits an old flame in Kyoto, causing concern in the family that he is not
paying attention to the sake making company that he is going through
financial troubles. With a venerating tone, this film is a reflection on
old age, traditional values verses modern influence and mortality.
- Sword of
Doom: Ryunosuke is a sociopathic samurai without
compassion or scruples. When he is scheduled for an exhibition match at
his fencing school, the wife of his opponent begs Ryunosuke to throw the
match, offering her own virtue in trade.
- Red Beard: The
Original book “Akahige Shinryotan” (Tales of Doctor RED BEARD) is the work
of Shugoro Yamamoto. The entire film flourishes with the spirit of
humanism centred on the magnificent character of RED BEARD. In Japan,
where it is common to be playing more than one part at a time especially
when shooting of one film is to be conducted over an extended period of
time, this was an rare exception.
- Kill!: Genta is disillusioned with life as a samurai, while Hanjiro is a
farmer fed up with his powerless existence, who dreams of a glory days as
a samurai. Kill! Is a comical exploration of a samurai life.
- Samurai: With his closest friend, Matahachi, Takezo (the town’s wild
orphan kid) leaves his village to join an army on its way to battle.
Takezo returns to the village and Matahachi’s family rejects his report
and has him arrested for treason.
- Godzilla: This 1954 original pioneered special effects filmmaking and
inspired many remakes. Re-live this epic classic that introduced the most
fearful of all movie monsters- Godzilla.
