Following the success of “Confessions”, a plethora of Kanae Minato's works have been adapted in both TV and cinema, with “Homecoming”, “ A Chorus of Angels”, “Penance” and “The Snow White Murder Case” being some of the most renowned. The latest one, “Motherhood” comes from 2012 novel “Bosei” and explores the theme of motherhood through the stories of three generations of women.
Motherhood is screening at New York Asian Film Festival
Sayaka, a highschool student, kills herself for reasons that are initially unknown, since she seems to have been living a pretty normal life until that point, having been raised with love by her mother, Rumiko. The narrative then switches to the past, starting with the story of the latter, before it presents Sayaka's own version of their life story. In that fashion, Rumiko was an art enthusiast who enrolled in art school, where she met Satoshi, with the two eventually getting married,...

Another excellent sample of Japanese filmmaking, “A Chorus of Angels” implements all the distinct characteristics of the country’s cinema, while excelling at the technical department, with magnificent sound and cinematography, and the awards from the Japanese Academy for Best Music Score, Cinematography and Lighting being utterly justified.
Based on the short story “Ni-jyu Nian Go no Shyukudai” from the “Oufuku Shokan” collection by Kanae Minato, τhe film revolves around Haru Kawashima, a retired school teacher, who currently works as a librarian, the six students (3 boys and 3 girls) she had when she was teaching in a remote village in Hokkaido 20 years before, the chorus they have assembled, an accident that brought their relationship to demise, and a number of secrets that have been lurking since that time and poisoned their relationships.

The second book of Kanae Minato, after “Confessions” to be translated in English and the second to be transferred in cinema (both mini series and a movie actually), “Penance” shares some similarities with its multi-awarded predecessor, but strays in completely different paths, for the most part.
“Penance” is streaming on Mubi
15 years ago, Emily, an elementary school student from a rich family transferred to the small town of Ueda, and soon became close friends with four other girls, Sae, Maki, Akiko and Yuka. The girls always played together, occasionally in each other’s house, but at one point, after a series of antique dolls were stolen from each of the girl’s houses, they experienced a true tragedy. An unknown man came to their school after- hours, while they were playing at the courtyard, and posing as a ventilation technician, took Emily away from the rest, supposedly to help him.

Based on the homonymous novel by Kanae Minato (also the author of “Confessions“) and featuring the crème de la crème of Japanese actresses along with Teruyuki Kagawa, “Penance” also served as an “experiment” for the style and aesthetics Kiyoshi Kurosawa later implemented on “Creepy“

The issue of bullying is one of the most significant nowadays (to say the least) in Asia, and particularly in Japan, where the statistics are truly frightening. According to The Japan Times, “The number of reported cases of bullying at Japanese schools hit a record high of over 320,000 in the 2016 academic year due partly to efforts to detect early signs, according to the education ministry. A total of 323,808 bullying cases were reported at elementary, junior high and high schools, up 43.8 percent from a year before, with the figure for elementary schools jumping 1.5 times.
The problem, however, is also at large in S. Korea, where according to The Korea Times, “More than 30 percent of students in South Korean elementary, middle and high schools are victims of bullying. The data was gathered by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs and found 32.2 percent of respondents said that they have experienced violence at school.

Iyamisu is a subgenre of mystery fiction, which deals with grisly episodes and the dark side of human nature. The subgenre has been quite popular recently in Japan, particularly through the works of Mahokaru Numata, Kanae Minato and Yukiko Mari. Inevitably, it also found its way into the cinematic world, with films such as Minato’s “Confessions” and Numata’s “Birds Without Names”.
Birds Without Names is screening at Five Flavours
Towako lives an aimless life. She is still stuck thinking about her ex-boyfriend, Kurosaki, even though they have broken up 8 years ago, and despite the awful things he did to her, including a severe beating upon their break up.

Based on two of the six stories included in Kanae Minato’s collection Bokyo, “Homecoming” is a distinct, Japanese family drama that tries to connect the two stories in the same narrative, through a rather interesting approach. Let us take things from the beginning though.
Homecoming is screening at Japannual Festival
The story begins with Wataru returning to his home island after 8 years, which once housed an important shipyard, as a teacher. The first person he meets there is an old acquaintance, Mutsuko, with the two of them seeming to share a past. The narrative then changes path, and focuses on Mutsuko and her past, starting with her childhood, as the granddaughter of the richest family in the island.
Her life though, was nothing but happy, since the constant arguments between her mother and her mother placed a constant tension in the house, with little Mutsuko also getting “in the line of fire.

This is a reprint if our review from the 2012 Venice Film Festival. For all the talk of auteurs working on the small screen and helping to usher in a new golden age of television – Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann etc. – it’s hardly a phenomenon only made up of HBO’s current output. Ingmar Bergman and Rainer Werner Fassbinder both turned to television in the 1980s, for instance, and more recently British filmmakers Shane Meadows and Michael Winterbottom have both worked regularly on U.K. TV. The latest international filmmaker to follow in their footsteps is Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the Japanese filmmaker best known for his millennial horror masterpiece “Pulse.” For his first work since 2008’s low-key, arthouse-minded non-genre picture “Tokyo Sonata,” Kurosawa has turned to the small screen, for a collaboration with the Wowow network in Japan for “Shokuzai” (or “Penance,” in English), an adaptation of the novel by Kanae Minato...

We recently profiled 15 Filmmakers At The Forefront Of The TV Revolution, and a filmmaker headed to the small screen before many of the directors on that list is Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Back in 2012, he brought the five-part "Penance" to Japanese television, and later it screened internationally at the Venice Film Festival, Tiff and more. It's taken a couple of years, but now you'll be able to experience the drama on the big screen, and today we have an exclusive clip from the series. Starring Kyoko Koizumi, Teruyuki Kagawa, Yu Aoi, Eiko Koike, Sakura Ando, Chizuru Ikewaki, Mirai Moriyama, Kenji Mizuhashi, Ryo Kase, Tomoharu Hasegawa, Ayumi Ito, Hirofumi Arai and Tetsushi Tanaka, and based on the novel by Kanae Minato, the story centers around the kidnapping and killing of a young girl named Emili.

Prolific Japanese director Nakamura Yoshihiro (Fish Story, A Boy and His Samurai) is about to explore how a social media craze can impact a seemingly routine investigation into a mysterious murder in his upcoming film The Snow White Murder Case.

At festivals these days audiences would be hard pressed to parse whether what they’re watching is celluloid or a digital projection. Soon the same may be said about the origin of the “films” themselves: at Toronto two years ago Raúl Ruiz stole the festival with Mysteries of Lisbon, an endlessly expanding and contracting television miniseries that mutated before one’s eyes to become cinema, literature, poetry, television, melodrama, and oral history. With Ruiz gone (though his wife has brought another of his projects to the screen, and to Venice and Toronto, Lines of Wellington), the strange allowances and experimentations of medium muddying has this year been been engaged by fellow fabulist Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who is showing his own miniseries, Penance, first at Venice and then at Tiff. In it, Kurosawa overlaps the worlds of Franju—uncanny materiality, extensive dramatic flatness and surrealist lyrical imagery—with that of Ruiz—belonging...

The Green Hornet; Chico & Rita; Confessions; In Our Name
There are few things more depressing than watching a genuinely inventive director being overpowered by the machinery of a franchise blockbuster. Take The Green Hornet (2010, Sony, 12), the long-gestating big-screen spin-off from the 30s radio serial and 60s TV show which is technically "Un Film de Michel Gondry" although frankly you wouldn't know it from watching the movie. In fact, the real driving force here is writer-and-star Seth Rogen playing slobbish Britt Reid, whose campaigning news mogul father (Tom Wilkinson) dies suddenly after a suspicious insect bite. Initially uninterested in his grand paternal legacy, Britt is stung into action by the inventive fighting skills of coffee-maker-cum-handyman Kato (likable Taiwanese pop sensation Jay Chou) and embarks upon a knockabout reign of clumsy crime-fighting vigilance, kept alive only by his super-agile sidekick.

Japanese writer director Tetsuya Nakashima follows up his critically acclaimed cult hits “Kamikaze Girls” and “Memories of Matsuko” with something considerably darker in the form of “Confessions”. Based upon Kanae Minato’s award winning debut novel and dealing with themes of bullying, revenge and savage murder, the film is an exceptionally cruel affair, all the more so thanks to Nakashima’s typically idiosyncratic approach and gorgeous visuals. The film has been a massive hit in Japan, both commercially and critically, and has already been selected as the country’s official entry in the Best Foreign Film category of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. The film has also been enjoying success at international festivals, having recently had its UK premiere at the 2010 London October Frightfest. The film is essentially an ensemble piece, revolving around Takako Matsu (recently in “K20: Legend of the Mask” and “Villon’s Wife”) as Yuko Moriguchi,...

The world of Confessions is a cold world. A dark world filled with revenge, loneliness and broken chacters. Confessions is also the latest film from Japanese director Tetsuya Nakashima, who achieved international success with Kamikaze Girls back in 1994. In his latest work as director he's also in charge of writing the script, adapting a novel from Kanae Minato.
The film starts abruptly with a chaotic situation: a teacher who remains impassive in front of a class where lack of interest and disorder reigns, as she calmly keeps talking until her monologue culminates in a shocking revelation. The tragic accident of her daughter wasn't no accident at all, it was a murder perpetrated by two of her students. But it's not the point of the movie to discover who are these young killers, as we get this information right from the start. It's about unraveling the events that lead to the...

Over the past week I have seen some excellent films at the Nyaff, everything from epic kung-fu fighting in Ip Man 2 to psychedelic madness in Blood of Rebirth and heartfelt comedy with amazing Japanese freestyle rapping in 8000 Miles. But nothing could have prepared me for Confessions, easily the most brilliant and disturbing film I’ve seen all year. This film is like nothing you ever experienced, it’s a whirlwind of emotion wrapped in a tightly knit package of suspense, mystery and murder. That said, it’s also one of the more depressing films you’ll see, in that the subject matter its dealing with is the bizarre suicide culture that permeates in Japan, particularly in young teens.

A full trailer has been released for Tetsuya Nakashima‘s upcoming film Kokuhaku (Confession). In addition to showing off some of the stunning visuals we’ve come to expect from Nakashima over the years, the new footage seems to give a much clearer impression of the film’s tone than the previously released teaser.
Also, a few new production stills from the film were recently released to various media outlets by Toho.
The film is based on an award-winning novel written by rookie author and housewife Kanae Minato. Actress Takako Matsu (K-20, Villon’s Wife) plays a dedicated teacher at a junior high school who’s young daughter is found brutally murdered. Believing two of her own students are responsible, she decides to leave the school, but not before a final chilling confession to her class in which she informs them that she’s already enacted her plan for vengeance.
