does anybody know where I can find the Toshiya Ueno’s 2003 movie “Ambiguous” (also known as “Group Suicide: The Last Supper”) with english subs???

I remember coming across a trailer for this when I was in high school (maybe around 2005) and was obsessed with it after finding a bootleg DVD to watch it.

Super ambitious sci-fi drama film very loosely based on a the 70s anime with the same name, and with a wonderful soundtrack - the director was also married to Utada Hikaru at the time and she provided an amazing song for its ending credits. A lot of the green screen/CGI effects don’t quite hold up but it’s still a feast for the eyes and ears - you can really see the director’s background in music videos come through. Recommended if you’re in the mood for a melancholy sci-fi epic

I really love Sion Sono's movies, and I would hate for him to stop making them. I'm aware that he has a lawsuit against him, so I wanted to ask if anyone knows anything about his future as a filmmaker.

Shared this on another sub, so I may as well share it here because it was a highly impactful recent Japanese film. It follows the day to day existence of a Japanese couple (and I say existence, not life, because they are barely living in the true sense of the word, but rather drifting through the days) whose young daughter has vanished into thin air on her way home from a local playground. A local media station tries to sensationalize and exploit the story as the days and weeks pass. Some may find it slow moving, but I found it to be one of the rare films where you really feel the crushing emotional anguish of the parents. It was genuinely upsetting to watch at times, more so when you understand Japanese culture and social norms. Few punches are pulled and it doesn't go for cheap and easy payoffs. I highly recommend it and it's an important story to be told, because it is undoubtedly based on many true stories. If you connect with the character of the mother and father, and approach it openly, it will be difficult viewing. If you approach it with dismissive cynicism, it will be just another drama for you

Pardon if should post this to another subreddit, but I was wondering if anyone had opinions about Third Window Films vs Cinema Guild blurays? I picked up a multiregional player a while back, and I see some films (Shinji Somai specifically) that have Third Window releases, and a little while later Cinema Guild seems to do as well. Anyone have experience with them have an opinion? Outside of extras, do they ever have quality differences? I imagine that they're probably using the same restorations if they come out around the same time.

I'm looking for a website to stream the movie "Watashi wo Ski ni Tsuretette" from 1987. I've scoured the internet but I only find sites to buy it as a DVD or BluRay, though I'm interested in finding it on a streaming service.

Hope someone is able to help!

I think it was mid especially for a movie that focused so much on bending typical romance and sexuality roles you see in a typical movie

A friend of mine is in the movie and I didn"t know about it. Can someone help me find a copy of the movie?

Title is 散歩屋ケンちゃん.

I'm not sure whether this is the right subreddit to post this to, but does anyone know what was used to film Blue Spring (2001)? I'm sure there was some post-prod but I think the camera also gives a very ambient vibe...

Even if you have a general idea, I would love to know.

Aidoru Wo Sagase 1987

I have been trying to find this movie online but cannot. Please help me find this movie anywhere available online.

I am fan of terayama already. This is my second movie of his. I just love hoq absurdz weird his cinema is. Starting was little boring but it picks up. I don't know what to explain, it's a story you should feel with your past self.

I remember watching this film about 15 years or so ago but never watched all of it. The film is about a school kid is bullied and his father is very disappointed in him. For some reason I do not know but their is a dead woman in the dad's fridge. TIA

Damn! Revenge movie at it's peak. meiko keji's acting, Goddess level. I am not big action movie fan, But this one is just great.

Story is about woman exploitation in prison and revenge arc, don't want to spoil anything but if you like action movie you should definitely check out this (violence and nudity warning).

It's a photo from Tim Burton's 2009 Halloween party (which took place on October 30th, because on October 31st, he had to attend the White House Halloween party along with Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska). I would like to know what movie poster is behind "the Bride of Frankenstein'. Knowing Tim Burton's love for kaiju movies, it could be one of them.

In Ozu’s Equinox Flower, we see this piece of artwork displayed in the office of the traditional and conservative main character:

What are we supposed to make of this choice? Is it that the reserved protagonist is actually very romantic at heart? Is this the kind of art a successful businessman in Japan would have put up at that point in the 50’s?

It strikes me as a pretty hard-to-place decision for a character that seems very pre-occupied with propriety throughout the film.

Okay, I can understand why people love it. It can be fun with group of friends and when you are ready to laugh on whatever mood or you are high.

It was my first colored movie while going through different decades of movie. it was obnoxious. Didn't enjoy it. Whatever they made was horrible.

I saw the first episode used to be on YouTube, but is no longer available. I can't even find it on the movie-web mirror I use.

This is the one many listeners have been waiting for. Podcaster Jason Kleeberg joins Perry to dive into the wildly successful Godzilla Minus One! Praised both at home and abroad for good reason, there’s a lot to unpack here. https://japanonfilm.com/godzilla-1/

I mean making movie like this in 1969 is something, I loved the cinematic choices and damn those characters something else.

But I love stories and this one, I didn't understand like it just a mess, not a fan of any character developments. I don't know what was happening. Not my cup of tea i guess

Hey! I need help finding this BL movie/series I watched on a 20 hour flight that I seriously can't remember the name of. I'm not entirely sure if this was a BL or not but it was a highschool romance and one of the love interests was a track athlete and one of the main plot points in the movie/series was when he ran all the way to some important event to see his love interest. (i fr don't remember if it was a BL or a straight romance storyline bcuz i was devoid of sleep and was groggy asf) but any sort of similar sounding movies/series to check out plz lmk!! been thinking about this god forsaken movie/show since my flight a year ago.

Experimental cinema.

The rage this movie shows, brutal. Those scene was absolutely devastating. Although some might feel too uncomfortable to watch this, but if you are want something to cry out loud. Something very sad or don't know what's happening. This might be something you like.

Well as someone who enjoys different type of art, I found this movie satisfying in some phases.

Finally understood what cinematic eroticism is. It was creepy and excting at same times. Those scene were something else.

The ironical part is teacher wanted to escape his teaching life in weekend so he came to beach to find insect and suggest the woman how to move freely in city. Both are trapped in their life and part of escape was just closing the mind and opening it again.

Must watch movie.

Hey guys, I'm currently obsessed with the baby assassins series and I was wondering if anyone had anything similar. I think watching two girls be completely badass Is a big reason I enjoy the movies so much, if anyone has any other recs I'd really appreciate it!!!

A couple of months ago I saw a TikTok of a movie and saved it for a later watch but the TikTok got deleted by the time I got back to it :’)

I’ve been looking everywhere for a while and came here as my final hope. The plot was along these lines - a girl finds out she’s pregnant after breaking up with her boyfriend but chooses not to tell him and has the child on her own. Several years later the child comes looking for his father, or something to that effect. It may be that the mom dies before this, I’m not sure!

I don’t remember much sorry, but would greatly appreciate any help.
