1.Cruel Story of Youth starring: Yusuke Kawazu, Miyuki Kuwano, Yoshiko Kuga, Fumio Watanabe, Shinji Tanaka directed by: Nagisa Oshima January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.00
After releasing his debut film Street of Love and Hope in 1959, Oshima would be quick to release three films in quick succession in 1960: Cruel Story of Youth, Burial of the Sun, and Night and Fog in Japan. While such output might make one think that the end results of the films might be a bit shoddy due to the hastiness in their creation, in fact all three of the films are important films not only within the realms of Oshima's filmic work, but for Japanese new wave cinema as a whole. Oshima began 1960 with a bang when Cruel Story of Youth was released. A genre film, fully embedded within the late 1950s, early 1960s tradition of youth films or Sun Tribe films made popular by directors Masamura Yasuzo and Nakahira Ko, Cruel Story of Youth goes beyond its formulaic groundings to ...

...so I have to take off one star. I don't have much to say about this true anime classic that other reviewers have not already said. If you like anime, even if you are a recent convert, watch this movie. Like the best of Miyazaki's work, it's truly special. It desperately deserves a new release from a proper widescreen master, but sadly, I doubt it will ever get one. I finally bought the Japanese R2 release just to see it as it should be seen. Finally, while I thought I had seen the worst of Charles Solomon's always incredibly insensitive and retarded anime reviews, this one takes the cake. I wonder who feeds him and changes his diaper? What a clueless bozo. Amazon should be ashamed to continue letting this idiot write anime reviews.

6.Tokyo Eyes (Sub) starring: Shinji Takeda, Hinano Yoshikawa, Kaori Mizushima, Tetta Sugimoto, Ren Osugi directed by: Jean-Pierre Limosin January 06, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.03
"Tokyo Eyes" is a quirky love story. Hinano Yoshikawa plays 17-year-old Hinano who lives with her police detective brother Roy played by Tetta Sugimoto. While the papers are full of the exploits of a criminal called "Four Eyes" because he wears thick glasses, Hinano becomes aware of this guy filming people on a subway and follows him. He turns out to also be Four Eyes. While Four Eyes is given the reputation of being a serial killer, he really is more of a serial scarer since he doesn't actually shoot anyone. Hinano and "K" as the guy calls himself play a cat and mouse game of attraction, with K being well aware that the precocious Hinano is still underage. Kaori Mizushima plays Hinano's friend Naomi who pals along on the trail of K. This Japanese-French production is a sweet film with a loopy love story ... Read More

7.Jingi naki tatakai starring: Bunta Sugawara, Hiroki Matsukata, Kunie Tanaka, Eiko Nakamura, Tsunehiko Watase directed by: Kinji Fukasaku
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
This is a great 5-part series detailing the rise of the Yakuza in post-war Japan, more or less based upon real events. Forget about wide-shots: Director Kinji Fukasaku starts with action and keeps it going through all five chapters with hyper-kinetic camera work that was pretty much the opposite of what Kurosawa and Ozu had done in the past couple of decades. You are not observing it from a distance, you (and the camera lens) are RIGHT in the middle of it.. and it's happening all around you, for all five chapters. All this was done long before today's of better-than-real special effects and CGI. Along with the untraditional camera work, Fukasaku parts ways with another hallmark of the previous 20-years of Yakuza movies: Forget about chivalrous men in Kimonos. The title of the first film, "Battles ... Read More
