¡Japanese Movie (Documentary)
Description
[Machine Translation] Genichiro Tenryu, the legendary Mr. Tenryu, the only Japanese pro wrestler to win by pinfall from two of the biggest names in pro wrestling, Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki, and the founder of the third pro wrestling boom, made his debut in 1976. 40 years after making his pro wrestling debut, Tenryu had always been active, declaring in high spirits that he would be active all his life. On February 9, 2015, at the age of 65, Gen'ichiro Tenryu, who had devoted himself to professional wrestling, declared that he would cease to be a professional wrestler at the Korakuen Hall, a place he had grown accustomed to. The camera closely followed him in the days leading up to his last match with New Japan Pro Wrestling and Okada Kazuchika at Ryogoku Kokugikan on November 15, 2015. The film clearly shows not only Genichiro Tenryu as a professional wrestler, but also his daughter Monna Shimada, who supported her father and is the representative of the Tenryu Project, as they worked together until his retirement, and the family ties that were never usually shown in front of fans. What did Genichiro Tenryu think and say about his life in wrestling? Directed by Koji Kawano of LOVE MY LIFE and Hoshi no Furumachi. He directed, filmed, and edited the film all by himself, creating a moving film that portrays not only a professional wrestler, but also a family. The narration is provided by Shota Sometani, a young actor known for his roles in "Yosei Zyu" and "Kukai" who is also a big pro wrestling fan and who also attended Genichiro Tenryu's retirement match. This is a moving documentary film about the last year of his active career.
