Eiji Uchida and Shinzo Katayama are two of the most interesting voices active in Japanese cinema nowadays, with titles like “Lowlife Love” and “Midnight Swan” of the former and “Missing” of the latter being some of the best we have seen in recent years. Now the two combine their forces for “Life of Mariko in Kabukicho”, a movie that shares a lot of similarities with another work of Uchida, “Love and other Cults”.
“Life of Mariko in Kabukicho” is screening at Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival
Mariko, a girl with a rather dramatic past, runs a small bar in Kabukicho filled with eccentric but loyal patrons which also doubles as a detective agency. Meanwhile, a missing scientist is running amok in the streets of the area, carrying with him an alien in a wooden box. The FBI are searching for both, and in their efforts to find someone who can...

Exclusive: Dark Star Pictures has snapped up North American rights to the Stephen King documentary King on Screen, examining cinematic adaptations of the iconic author’s works, out of EFM. The film from actress-turned-director Daphné Baiwir, which bears King’s stamp of approval, will hit theaters in late summer, with a digital release to follow in the fall.
King on Screen offers audiences an intimate sit-down with directors who have adapted King’s work for the screen, looking at the movies and shows that have brought his body of work an entirely new life — both the ones that reached the top-tier echelons of pop culture history and those that fell by the wayside into obscurity. Among those sitting down for interviews in the film, which world premiered at Fantastic Fest last year, are Frank Darabont, Mick Garris (ABC’s The Stand), Mike Flanagan and director and special makeup effects titan Greg Nicotero, to name a few.
King is, of course, a master of literary horror and of the bestselling authors of all time who has seen more than 80 features made based on his work. Next heading from his pages to the screen is the Rob Savage-directed horror-thriller The Boogeyman from 20th Century Studios and 21 Laps, which hits theaters on June 2nd. Among the most recent titles of his to have been picked up for adaptation is 2021’s Billy Summers, about a hitman set to take one last major job before retiring, which has landed at Warner Bros, as we told you first. Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz are penning the script, with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way to produce.
Producers on King on Screen included Sebastien Cruz for Les Films de la Plage, Jean-Yves Roubin for Frakas Productions and Zoe Salmon for Mr Salmon Films, with the participation of Ocs.
“Daphné has done a spectacular job of showcasing the talented filmmakers who brought the work of Stephen King to life in moving images,” said Dark Star Pictures President, Michael Repsch. “As a lifelong King fan, I could not be more excited to bring this film to audiences across North America and have it as a part of the Dark Star family.”
Recent releases from the L.A.-based distributor Dark Star Pictures include the WWII epic Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle, Shinzô Katayama’s crime drama Missing, and the Tribeca-premiering drama Petit Mal. Other upcoming releases from the company include the Tim Roth vehicle Punch, Fantasia Grand Jury winner Megalomaniac, and the serial killer thriller Saturn Bowling from French auteur Patricia Mazuy.
Repsch negotiated the King on Screen deal for Dark Star Pictures, with Hugues Barbier, Justin Timms and Joe Yanick for Yellow Veil Pictures on behalf of the filmmakers.

2022 was an incredible year for horror films from across the world that deserve just as much attention as any domestic genre hit.
2022 has proven itself to be a banner year for horror and genre fans have never had more exciting and terrifying options at their disposal. Whether in the security of one’s own home or a dark movie theater, horror has been a comforting constant for audiences this year.
2022 hasn’t struggled when it comes to original horror blockbusters, with Nope, Barbarian, The Black Phone, Smile, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and Ti West’s X and Pearl being some of the year’s biggest releases. However, 2022 has had just as much to offer for sequel and franchise fans between Hellraiser, Prey, Scream, Terrifier 2, and Halloween Ends.

Quite a weird year for Japanese cinema, since there was no definite masterpiece this year, in the fashion of “Shoplifters” for example, while short and mid-length movies seem to have been rising intently in quality, a tendency that actually extended to a number of Asian countries, including Korea. At the same time, the “issues” of Japanese cinema, particularly the lack of mid-budget films and the “Koreeda style” of filmmaking that usually results in invitations to (big) festivals continue to happen, and along with the #MeToo movement hitting the industry quite hard, resulted in a year for local productions that is by no means great. At the same time, however, the size of the industry in terms of number of productions still gave way to a number of titles to stand out, 20 of which are to be found here. This time, the main criteria, besides the always present diversity, is films...

A successful thriller starts with a good story and ideally should take the viewer through various stages of excitement, astonishment, and anxiety — extra points if a film marketed as a thriller succeeds at being genre-defying. South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho is known and loved for making movies that hit all these marks and more, so it’s interesting that one of the most gifted, up-and-coming directors in Japan has been referred to as Joon-ho’s protégé. Before making his feature film debut with Siblings of the Cape in 2018, filmmaker Shinzô Katayama served as assistant director to Bong Joon-ho on his acclaimed film Mother in 2009. Katayama’s second feature film, Missing (Sagasu), screened at Busan International Film Festival in 2021 and is premiering at this year’s Fantastic Fest. Written by Shinzô Katayama, Kazuhisa Kotera, and Ryô Takada, and directed by Katayama, Missing is a twisty thriller and a heart-wrenching story with an amazing cast,...

Santoshi Harada (Jirô Satô) has a plan. It concerns a three-million-yen reward for helping capture the infamous serial killer known as “No-Name” (Hiroya Shimizu). Santoshi says he saw him on the train to work. The man who’s been all over the news is inexplicably here in town, right now, and he’s pretty sure he knows where he can find him. Except, of course, that Santoshi is in no shape to “find” anyone. He’s been clinically depressed and unable to hold a full-time job since his wife’s (Tôko Narushima’s Kimiko) suicide. He can barely keep food in the fridge for his middle school-aged daughter Kaede (Aoi Itô) to cook. We literally meet her full-speed sprinting to scoop him up from the corner store after he was caught shoplifting.

Shinzo Katayama had previously shown his colors with “Siblings of the Cape” one of the best Japanese indies of the last few years. This time, he returns with a second feature that is a Japanese-s. Korean co-production that follows some of the rules his debut created, but in a much tamer fashion, at least in terms of visual presentation.
“Missing” is screening on Fantasia International Film Festival
Satoshi is depressed and in debt, following the death of his wife, while his issues have essentially forced his teenage daughter, Kaede, to be the adult in their family. One day, though, he informs her that he has found a way out of their misery, since he thinks that he has discoverd a serial killer the police have been searching for some time, nicknamed “No Name”. Kaede does not take him seriously, but a few days later he disappears completely, and the girl begins searching for him,...

The fifth edition of EstAsia, a film festival in Reggio Emilia, Italy, dedicated to Asian culture, will begin on June 14, after a year of break due to the covid-19 epidemic.
The series of screenings aims to address, from a different angle, the current problems linked to interculturality and integration. Not a festival aimed only at the fanbase and the professionals therefore, but a moment of involvement and dialogue with the foreign communities present in the provincial and regional area.
The Golden Kaiju, a prize created by the artist Hu-Be, will be assigned this year by a jury composed of Nicola Cupperi (film critic), Lara Ferrari (journalist) and Xu Ying (communication professor at Renmin University in Beijing and Chinese director of the Confucius Institute of the University of Bologna). Then there will be the Audience Award and the Youth Award, allocated by a jury made up of students from the Ariosto Spallanzani High School.

National cinemas come and go from the top, which is currently dominated by Korea, as it did by Hong Kong some decades ago, but the truth remains that the only one who has stayed on top since its beginning (maybe with the exception of the 80s) is the Japanese one. Either through the festival favorites like Koreeda, Kawase, Kiyoshi Kurosawa or through the more cult like Miike, Sono, Toyoda, or through a number of newcomers, Japanese cinema continues to make an impact, proving both its current quality and its potential for the years to come. The decade that just passed is another testament to the fact, and the movies that you will find in this list, the most distinct proof.
In an effort to winnow some of the best Japanese movies of the decade (2011-2020), we came up with 40 we felt were the ones that truly stand out in terms of quality,...

Shinzo Katayama has worked as assistant to Bong Joon-ho and Nobuhiro Yamashita but this is actually his debut in the director’s seat. His effort, of depicting a lowlife man who is trying to take care of his mentally disabled sister was a difficult theme to begin with, but Katayama really took it a step further, in the process creating a movie that hits like a punch with its almost grotesque realism. Let us take things from the beginning, though.
Yoshio lives with his sister Mariko, who is mentally disabled. He works at the docks, but the money he gets are not enough, and the siblings inhabit a completely run-down house, barely sustaining themselves. Mariko goes wondering off frequently, and Yoshio has made a routine of searching for her. In one of her wanderings, she is “delivered” by a fisherman, but when Yoshio finds money in her trousers and semen in her underwear,...
