Description
[Machine Translation] The Blu-ray release of the movie "Hana Fu Shi", which will be released in 2023 and has received numerous awards and nominations at film awards in Japan, is now scheduled for release! Based on the novel of the same title by Hisateru Matsuura, winner of the 123rd Akutagawa Prize. Haruhiko Arai, one of Japan's leading screenwriters with works such as "The Tragedy of W" ('84) and "Vibrator" ('03), has chosen to direct his fourth film, following the award-winning "The Two in the Crater" ('19). He took on the challenge of "super translation" as a filmmaker by incorporating a motif not found in the original work, "the declining sunset of the pink film industry" into the screenplay. The main character, Tochiya (Kukuni), is played by Tsuyoshi Ayano, his opposite Izeki by Tasuku Emoto, and the actress, Shoko, who has an unusual relationship with both of them, by Honami Satou. --A film director, Tochiya (Kutani), who lives in the dying pink film industry, and a man, Iseki, who wanted to become a scriptwriter. The woman they both loved was the same woman. The waka poem "Hana-hotoshi" from the Manyoshu (The Anthology of Myriad Leaves), which is quoted in the title, expresses the rain that pours down so hard that it rots even the beautifully blooming flowers of the Ugi (Deutzia japonica) tree. As the title suggests, Tochiya and Iseki meet one day during the rainy season and begin to talk about the woman they loved. Then, as their dreams of making movies, which the three have clung to for so long, begin to crumble, their respective lives intersect... Photobook ( 12 pages ) enclosed.
