Post some of your favorite japanese live-action films! I'm interested in melancholic stuff, like Dolls by Takeshi Kitano, All About Lily Chou-Chou by Shunji Iwai and Eureka by Shinji Aoyama

I love the following Japanese films: An Autumn Afternoon One Cut of the dead Seven Samurai Swing Girls Tokyo Story Ugetsu Wood Job! Yojimbo All About Lily Chou-Chou Departures Sonatine I've seen Iwai's Swallowtail Butterfly, and Sono's Love Exposure, and that psychic detective movie as well as Fish Story but I just wasn't that into them, but I'm listing them just the same in case somebody might.

>>6541 Not necessarily films but tangentially related, I can recommend some Japanese live-action dramas: GTO (not the new one, the old one with Takahashi Sorimachi) Kurosagi Big Money

my favorites at the moment are love exposure by sion sono and throw away your books, rally in the streets by shuju terayama recs are very much appreciated!!

Shoplifters (2018)

Shinya Tsukamoto's Kotoko

cool thread :3 What is this image from?

The Taste of Tea It takes a while to get going and starts with a lot of unbearable jokes, but it gets really beautiful near the end

I have been infatuated with Japanese cinema for over a decade now and there are some great movies listed in this thread already. Here are some of my favorites that aren't. I'm providing dates to help with the search of the more ambiguous title names. - Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani (2005) - Himizu (2011) - Zen (2009) - Eureka (2000) - Adrift in Tokyo (2007) - Tokyo (2008) - The Whispering Star (2015) - Welcome to the Quiet Room (2007) - The Mourning Forest (2007) - Survive Style 5+ (2004) - Midnight Diner (2014) & Midnight Diner 2 (2016) - Confessions (2010) - Hana-Bi (1997) - Kikujiro (1999) - Moe no Suzaku (1997) - Dororo (2007), [I also recommend checking out the newer released anime of the same title] - Killing (2018) - Tamako in Moratorium (2013) How many movies listed is too much? >>6917 All About Lily Chou Chou >>6919 This is my favorite movie of all time.

"964 Pinocchio" and "Rubber's Lover", both by the same director. The latter is a made-later lower-budget prequel, but I think it's the better of the two.

"700 Days of Battle: Us vs. the Police" is one of my favorite movies

>>6658 This movie was absolutely fantastic, superb acting and cinematography. Found myself totally bought in
