The happiest of birthdays to the Queen, Meiko Kaji!

akira kurosawa's greatest sin is that he didn't adapt the russian literature *i* care about. i am still waiting for his vision of the brothers karamazov.

imagine having beef with me and i just single-handedly exploded half electric circuit in the house

The Man Who Stole the Sun, 1979 (太陽を盗んだ男) - Kazuhiko Hasegawa

happy fourth anniversary of the first time i watched the man who stole the sun!! don't remember how i came to find it in the first place but it was the movie that moved a curiosity in me and pushed me into dedicating more time to watch and understand cinema (: it has a special place in my heart (:

Nosferatu

also unplanned but not unexpected, a rewatch of the movie which my icon comes from (: wedding ring (1950), dir. keisuke kinoshita "riding the bus to izu on a spring day will i miss my white shoes?" by tom, dick and harry 02.01.25

for the second day of japan movie month i went off track and watched lost paradise (1997), dir. yoshimitsu morita the movie was a pleasant watch overall, depicting true (forbidden, adulterous) love as well as unhappiness and loneliness in a very intimate way. a movie sensual and tender. sad, too.

starting the new year by joining the japanuary month on letterboxd and celebrating the amazing kōji yakusho's birthday on the first of january with perfect days (2023), dir. wim wenders 01.01.25

looking at pictures inside my phone and sighing, dreamily mifune toshiro as tetsu, jakoman and tetsu (1949)

mori masayuki as nakanuma, the good fairy (1951) let's all say: thank you kinoshita-san

starting this thing with a friend but the first step is to watch sanshiro sugata 1943. which is not bad actually but something tells me i am not the target audience for it. yes i watched it twice anyway.

(questionably) useful links: letterboxd: letterboxd.com/ginkovskij tumblr (main): ginkovskij.tumblr.com tumblr (transea): transea.tumblr.com here is a picture of toshiro mifune as matsunaga (drunken angel) for no reason, enjoy (:
