Considering the sheer number of family dramas coming from Japan, most of which seem to be of the 7/10 variety, it is quite hard to find ones that stand out, even in detail. Kazuhiro Nakamura, however, who was inspired by the city of his birth and the “Amagasaki lock gate,” which protects from flood damage, seems to have managed to come up with a film in the category that does stand out, even if he does not avoid all its ‘tropes'.
Amalock is screening at Osaka Asian Film Festival
The film starts in 1994 when a young and quite loud Yuko is living with her parents in Amagasaki, somewhat idolizing her father, Ryutaro, owner of a small metalworks factory, which she considers Amalock, a kind of protector of everything and everyone around him. Years later, 39-year-old Yuko is a high-achieving and proud woman whose career ambitions have taken to Tokyo, where she has a high-caliber work.
