What To Wear For Lace Bite

Kanikosen / The Crab Cannery Ship (Hiroyuki Tanaka SABU, Japan 2009)


Sabu's adaptation is now the third of the current, unusually, has become theme (or fourth?): The film is based on a novel of 1923, the author Takiji Kobayashi, revolt in which "at the height of Japan's Proletarian literature movement" on a shrimp boat workers against their inhuman exploitation. 1953 was told the text is a first film by SIS implementation Yamamura, to see where such Masayuki Mori is expected to be known as the Kurosawa-Regular from RASHOMON, THE BAD SLEEP WELL, or as Myshkin in THE IDIOT. 2008 was an enormously successful manga implementation, the high quality néojaponisme it here at is to read a lot.


Sabu's implementation to be described as successful, despite some shoals, but he translates the story into a contemporary context that may well also current, pop-and youth-cultural aspects satisfied with (Music, T-shirts, etc). staged in many scenes as a stage play and the ever-increasingly oppressive and extremely violent atmosphere enlivened by a sense of humor (such as the mass suicide scene) but the system enters the movie as a slightly crooked tragicomic level on the do not know the audience - especially before the Sabu's background other work - what he sees exactly. Ryuhei Matsuda as

protagonist is chosen wisely, the handsome and charismatic actor can completely convincing and gives the film after about 40 minutes such thing as an emotional center, for the other actors are necessarily not psychologically enriched figures, but as types or officials created (a distancing aspect of performance that is certainly difficult for many younger recipients, the connection). Until then, you look so surprised at the abstract activity. When, after an hour play time is clear then what amounts to the film, and at the end of the outlook for the utopia is possible, we are quite happy - and I at least appeased. The first half of the film makes it a not so easy, especially without prior knowledge of the substance. Japanese would have to be, then you would not be so naive, have turned the film. The question remains how such a policy today Film can be placed on the market that can reach its target audience (a largely depoliticized youth) at all.
