This week’s theme for Movie Clip Wednesday is Love Stories, as Joanna Cake saied. Oh my … I had to think of Takeshi KITANO‘s (Ger., Eng., about) Hana-Bi (Ger., Eng.) (1997). She’s termially ill. He did anything to bring her to this beach. It’s the end of the road. It’s all about love.

your picks are always my favorite. So….. International! 😉
Goodness, now I need to find the film so I can find out why that happened.
Yes, you hooked me with this one. It feels so wrong walking in at the end of this story.
HA, that’s the charme of the Franconian province, Boxer!
Very stylish in any case, some say nihilistic, anyway a very interesting film. I am sure you can find a dvd of it, Eryl. It was never a great success in terms of money in Japan, recognized as art film yes, but not filling the cassa. KITANO is a serious director and actor, but he became known in Japan as tv personality: From the 80s he produced a chaotic, absurd and sometimes really funny tv show called Takeshi’s Castle – too nuts to be described. Since he suffered a severe motorcycle accident a part of his face is paralyzed, guess which!
But the beach is beautiful, isn’t it, LGS?
Interesting to say the least. Love stories can be thought provoking or make you wonder why.
What they all said! I certainly wasn’t expecting that! As ever, you bring something a little different to MCW x
Thank you, Joyce and Joanna … “interestingly different” is not too bad I guess.
It’s a lot like Sonatine:

You should try Kikujiro no natsu

It’s a special kind of humor. 🙂

Ay, I have not seen these! I heared that he made a new film, of course about Yakuza …
How is the state of affairs regarding your novel, writing, book?
I hope you can find these movies mentioned.
I am just a few pages from finishing revision #1, there will be two more independent revisions then given to two trusty readers for feedbakc, while they do that I write the dreaded query letter and anything else required. Then one more revision and off to Agents. If I can keep myself on track, then I should be submitting it to angents in a month or two.

Great program – I really hope you can draw this through as planned!
