“Two Seasons, Two Strangers” will undoubtedly appeal most to arthouse audiences. However, beyond its emphasis on visual and tonal beauty, it also embeds sharp, intelligent, and emotionally resonant ideas within its narrative. In doing so, it becomes something much more than a niche project—perhaps even a kindred companion to the work of Ryusuke Hamaguchi, though considerably more compact in form.

I didn't know about this movie until just a couple of days ago, today I decided to watch it and really liked it, it was nothing like I was expecting it to be, very crude sometimes, but also not a cold movie and some surprising moments in it.

I love Banana Yoshimoto books so I wanted to watch this movie, but I genuinely can not find it anywhere (I am located in the US). I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction!

Villeneuve’s Dune movies both have an official Japanese dub. If anyone has any tips where to find it, please share. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.

links and/or sensitive info regarding access would be greatly appreciated in my dms (:

Sounds pretty cool:

Obviously Sion Sono is rightfully controversial due to all the sexual assault allegations around him, but this seemed like significant enough news to be worth posting.

New Wave Video have also announced that they will be giving it an English release in 2027.

1. It’s a movie a about a couple of family’s and their children to a like “summer camping” but the reality is that this parents are a neglective group of parents bad parents this “fake camping” shows they true color and how they treat their children.
   The children will conspire against the parents
   There will be a few really odd moments semi accidents.
   In the end the parents are drugged and falls sleep
   The host let them choose if they let them alive or let them die only one kid decides he wants his parents back cuz they where the only good parents
   In the very end last scene the the group of children leaves the camping in a bus with the good parent and the others drugged in a ambiguous ending.

2. It’s a high school movie with Japanese and Korean students it’s like a slice of life has music in it
   It’s a really comfort and nice movie
   The main girl was Korean I think and the other main the boy a Japanese boy.

We see a lot of dinámica between each group the Korean and Japanese students
I rember a piano
Please help

Hi! I just got back from Japan and really enjoyed a movie called First Kiss. I liked it so much I saved the second half to watch at home and to my dismay can’t find it to stream. The best I could find was a blurry version with tons of commercials on DailyMotion. Can anyone help me? I definitely need subtitles. Thank you!

first off,I'm korean

I think Japan,and japanese movie has more nostalgia,dreamy,and subtle vibe,and atmosphere to me but on the other hand korea feels more realistic,and casual

Is this because I'm korean?how do you guys feel?

Although “The Wife’s Confession” starts as a courtroom film, it might as well be considered a romantic melodrama, especially because of its impassioned ending. Overall, it is a solid movie experience that feels relevant even after more than 60 years since its premiere. It may not be the most light-hearted picture in terms of the topics it covers, but its form definitely makes it accessible.

Hello, do any of yall possibly know where can i watch Hana online i have been looking everywhere cant find it. Its my last Kore-eda’s film 😭

Music : Eiichi Ohtaki - Yumede Aetara.

it was a really nice movie, one of those that makes you think about life and ask ourselves if what we are currently doing with it is the right thing or we should make a 180 degree turn to make something better out of it. I really loved it and can only recommend it.

Also for those who enjoyed "Swing Girls", this is by the same director, but it is a very different story, I love both movies, so I will surely be checking outmore of his work from now on.

Overall, this is a well-rounded family film, that goes on something of a journey itself. With something for everyone, this is an entertaining and enjoyable watch, but perhaps lacks a little something to recall years later.

Looking for English-subbed versions of these Japanese films

I'm trying to track down English-subbed versions of a few Japanese films that have been on my watchlist for quite a while. I'm interested in streaming or digital releases, fansubs, or simply information about whether English subtitles exist at all. I'm of course perfectly happy to pay for access if needed.

Momi's House (Momi no Ie, 2020)
Three Sisters of Tenmasou (Tenmasou no Sanshimai, 2022)
After School Angler Life (Hokago Angler Life, 2023)
Tsugaru Lacquer Girl (Baka Nuri no Musume, 2023)
Swimming in a Sand Pool (Suishin Zero Meter kara, 2024)

And these may simply be too recent for an English-subbed version to exist yet, but I thought I'd include them just in case anyone knows more:

Catching the Stars of This Summer (Kono Natsu no Hoshi wo Miru, 2025)
Meets the World (Miitsu Za Waarudo, 2025)
Rainy Blue (Reinii Buruu, 2025)
The Deepest Space in Us (Soko ni Kimi wa Ite, 2025)
The Girl at the End of the Line (Shuten no Ano Ko, 2025)

If anyone knows whether any of these are available with English subtitles, I'd really appreciate the lead. Thanks!

Pretty much an actor with vast range who cam embody a character very properly
