SHADY
The debut film of Ryohei Watanabe, made at the age of 24 with only a £10,000 budget!


Japan / 2012 / 94 Mins / In Japanese with English subtitles / Colour

Out on DVD March 24th, 2014

DVD Special Features
Anamorphic Widescreen transfer with 5.1 Surround Sound
Interviews with director Ryohei Watanabe and actresses Mimpi*β & Izumi Okamura




Synopsis
Ryohei Watanabe’s debut film concerns two teenage girls and their friendships. The first friend is Misa, a stocky girl who is viciously dubbed Pooh at school, due to her surname “Kumada” (bear + rice paddy) and masculine frame. The other friend is Izumi, who says she can’t make and keep friends because all the other girls are jealous of her looks. Together, the two become best of friends owed to them both being such firm outsiders. Their blossoming friendship starts off as endearing and as the two spend more and more time together the sheen of the relationship peels away. When the darkness and violence eventually bleed into the mix, that authenticity turns what could just be another tale of teenage friendship gone awry, into a genuinely disturbing thriller.

Nominated – Best Debut Film – Raindance Film Festival
Winner – Entertainment Award and Cinema Fan Award at the PIA Film Festival

“An amazing debut…a taut, involving and disturbing film” – James Mudge, Beyond Hollywood

“Shady is the work of a seriously talented emerging filmmaker. It won’t be long before Watanabe is being compared to Kiyoshi Kurosawa” – Rob Simpson, The Geek Show

The Story of Yonosuke Blu-ray & DVD out April 14th




Is pleased to announce the Blu-Ray & DVD re-release of

The Story of Yonosuke

A film by Shuichi Okita (The Woodsman & the Rain)
Based on a novel by Shuichi Yoshida (Villain, Parade)


Japan / 2013 / 160 Mins / In Japanese with English subtitles / Colour

Starring: Kengo Kora (Norwegian Wood, Fish Story, The Woodsman & the Rain) 
Yuriko Yoshitaka (Gantz, Robo-G)
Go Ayano (Crows Zero II, Tajomaru)

Out on Blu-Ray & DVD April 14th

Synopsis

Based on a novel by multi-award-winning author Shuichi Yoshida (Villain, Parade), this bittersweet film is the latest offering from the director of The Woodsman & the Rain and stars Kengo Kora (Norwegian Wood, Fish Story) & Yuriko Yoshitaka (Gantz, Robo-G).

Yonosuke is a typical Japanese on-screen hero: socially awkward, childish and naive, but always cheerful and charming. We meet him when he moves from Nagasaki to Tokyo in the late eighties at the height of the city’s economic boom. Despite his odd character he manages to make new friends at university, joins a samba class and falls in love with an older woman. Sixteen years later his friends are all reminiscing over their college days, thinking back on how Yonosuke changed their lives. A heart-warming, crowd-pleasing comedy that takes a sudden dramatic turn. 

About the Director

Born in 1977, Shuichi Okita studied film at the Nihon University’s College of Art. His short film, “Pots and Friends” (2002), won the Grand Prize at the Mito Short Film Festival. His first feature, “The Wonderful World”, was released in 2006. After writing and directing for TV, he directed his second feature, “The Chef of the South Polar” (2009), which enjoyed a long theatrical run in Japan and earned him acclaim overseas. His most recent work, “The Woodsman and the Rain” (2011) – a lighthearted look at the team effort behind filmmaking – was awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 2011 Tokyo International Film Festival.

The Sacrament - Trailer and Poster Released


Eli Roth presents another film this time Ti West, Now for me Ti West has been hit and miss, I really enjoyed House of the Devil but really didn't like Inkeepers, So for the new film The Sacrament it appears to be a Jimmy Jones/Red State kind of affair where we get a cult community and guess what..it turns out bad! Only time will tell i guess, it has been screened and on IMDB it has a 6.6, Releases on i-tunes and VOD on May 1st, so watch this space for a review.
