The local Japanese consulate and my university Japanese department put on a few films at this time every year. I saw one of them yesterday, a documentary about sumo. It mainly followed two high-ranking rikishi as they dealt with injuries and prepared for big tournaments. It was pretty interesting stuff, and fun to be reminded of what the atmosphere at the tournaments is like. I don't know how widely available it is, but it's called Sumodo if anybody wants to try and watch it!

I saw Anatomy of a Fall last night. Very tense and intriguing, with some great performances.

The other night I saw Sabakan in the Japan Foundation touring film festival (unrelated to the films shown at the university!) A very sweet and often pretty funny film about two kids in Nagasaki prefecture in the 80s.
And I have a lot planned for next week! I'm gonna see Drive-Away Dolls (new film by Ethan Coen), Monster (the latest from Koreeda Hirokazu) AND another film festival screening called Ice Cream Fever.

I saw one more Japanese film last night, called Undercurrent. I liked it, often a lot, some parts a bit less, but I think I appreciate what the filmmaker was trying to do. It was definitely directed and shot very nicely.

Went to see Dune Part 2 the other day. I'd say I enjoyed it even more than the first one, because a lot of that interesting setup came to a head this time. At the same time, it's very clear that it needs one last film to wrap up this story.

Oh yeah, there's at least one song from Kiki's Delivery Service in it! It's in the scene where the guy plays "oldies" on the car radio.
I watched American Fiction on a flight the other day. It was very good!
