ストーリー紹介
Every once in a while, it's worth revisiting a film just because it was so pleasurable the first time around. That's how we feel about director Takashi Yamazaki's award-gobbling mega-hit ALWAYS: SUNSET ON THIRD STREET, which we brought to New York two years ago for its North American premiere, along with the director himself.

Yamazaki, a visual effects artist by training, made two films before ALWAYS – the family fantasy JUVENILE and the sci-fi/action MATRIX riff THE RETURNER (which was coincidentally star Takeshi Kaneshiro's last Japanese movie prior to making ACCURACY OF DEATH, also screening this year) – but neither of them prepared critics or the Japanese movie-making establishment for the groundswell of nostalgic love audiences would pour out (and the millions in ticket admissions they would pay out) for his bittersweet tale of a group of scrappy post-War survivors living in the shadow of the partially built Tokyo Tower in 1958. Yamazaki's attraction to the popular manga on which the story was based was obvious - he got to digitally create some of the most iconic and best-remembered landscapes in the Japanese imagination. And ALWAYS was a triumph not only in its groundbreaking special effects, but also in Yamazaki's steady direction and the film's stellar cast. Skating on the dangerous edge of sentimentality, the film enchanted audiences old enough to remember the time in which it was set, captivated younger viewers with its seamless digital fx-work and engaging, epic story, and sparked a "Showa-era retro boom" in the country's entertainment world that still continues to this day.
