Ein märchenhafter Film: In einem Kamishibai-Theater erfährt ein Junge 1958 von der längst vergangenen traurigen Liebesgeschichte einer jungen Frau aus dem Dorf und einem jungen Mann aus einem Trupp wandernder Holzfäller. Die Liebe ist groß, aber die Familien erlauben die Verbindung nicht. Eine Romeo-und-Julia-Geschichte. Aber die Zeiten und die Geschichten verschränken sich …Masakazu Kaneko entführt uns in eine wunderbare Landschaft, das Grün des Waldes strahlt von der Leinwand zurück. Eine magische Liebesgeschichte mit beeindruckenden charismatischen Darstellern – vor allem Sanetoshi Ariyama und Asuka Hanamura. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Kino sind (fast) alle euphorisch. Am Mikrofon: Karoline, Malte von Sneaky Monday, Markus von translate or die und Thomas.

Das Verhältnis zwischen Korea und Japan ist nicht einfach und wir Außenstehenden kennen immer nur Bruchstücke der kulturellen und historischen Hintergründe. Regisseur Jengil Park interessiert sich aber nicht für große Geschichte, stattdessen folgt er dem Alltag von zwei koreanisch-stämmigen Schwestern, die mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem Onkel in Japan leben. Jedes Familienmitglied steckt dabei an einem anderen Punkt zwischen zwei kulturellen Identitäten. Der Onkel hat – allein schon aus beruflichen Gründen – die japanische Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen und die Mutter will nicht, dass die Tochter einen Japaner heiratet.Die beiden Schwestern stecken als junge Frauen zwischen Neugierde auf die eigene Herkunft auf der einen Seite und Anpassung an die japanische Realität auf der anderen Seite. Da wird der Vorname japanisiert und der besten Freundin die koreanische Abstammung verheimlicht … Jengil Park verzichtet in diesem ruhigen Film auf einen dramatischen Bogen, wir folgen den Schwestern in vielen Begegnungen und Gesprächen. Das erlaubt zwar den Personen nahe zu kommen, bedeutet aber auch, dass der Film als slice of life ohne Höhepunkte dahintreibt. Einer der großen Vorteile eines Festivals wie Nippon Connection ist ja, dass man tolle, spannende Menschen kennenlernt – dieses Jahr Markus Mäurer von translate or die. Direkt nach dem Film hatte ich die Gelegenheit mit Markus über den Film, über Korea und kulturelle Identitäten zu sprechen.

Immer muss jemand da sein, der sich kümmert. Der das Essen kocht, die Dienstreise des Partners vorbereitet, das Haus in Ordnung hält, den Müll rausbringt und den Müllplatz an der Ecke sauber hält. Fast immer ist die Person, die sich kümmert, die den ganzen mental load trägt, eine Frau. Hier ist es Momoko, die wir begleiten. Niemand bedankt sich bei ihr, sie wird noch nicht einmal gesehen, sie ist eine unsichtbare Ehefrau, für niemanden von Bedeutung, auch nicht für den eigenen Ehemann. Und ab hier spoilern wir (auch im Podcast). Vor Jahren war sie die Geliebte ihres jetzigen Ehemanns und jetzt ist sie die Betrogene, denn ihr Mann hat eine neue Geliebte und wird sie verlassen. Alle Fassaden, die sie aufgebaut, beginnen zu wanken, ihre Lieblingstasse bekommt einen Riss, der Müllplatz geht in Flammen auf. Wortwörtlich tiefvergrabene Tragödien dringen ans Tageslicht. Momoko muss sich allem stellen. Der Film ist ein Slowburner, wie Karoline sagt, er gewinnt langsam aber sicher an Intensität. Morigaki bleibt konsequent an seiner Hauptperson, wir sind ganz nah dabei, folgen Momoko in ihrer Verzweiflung. Sehr sehenswert, hallt lange nach. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Film: Karoline, René von den Abspannguckern und Thomas.

Ein Regisseur erhält nicht oft die Gelegenheit, einen alten Low-Budget-Film Jahre später noch einmal inszenieren zu können. Michael Mann durfte SHOWDOWN IN L.A. unter dem Titel HEAT neu drehen – und Kiyoshi Kurosawa konnte seinen Thriller SERPENT'S PATH aus dem Jahr 1998 im Jahr 2024 noch einmal angehen. Die Handlung wurde nach Frankreich verlegt, die Hauptrollen sind mit Ko Shibasaki und Damien Bonnard japanisch und französisch besetzt. Wir hatten den 1998er Film nicht gesehen und so hat uns der harte Thriller mit seinen unerwarteten Twists voll erwischt.Nach der Ermordung seiner 8-jährigen Tochter sinnt der Vater auf Rache, unterstützt von einer Psychotherapeutin. Sie entführen und foltern die Verdächtigen – aber haben sie überhaupt die Richtigen? Und was treibt die eiskalte Psychotherapeutin an? Die grausamen Details des Mordes werden zwar nicht gezeigt, die Beschreibung aber so oft wiederholt, bis auch das Publikum Teil der Folter wird. Erst als es schon längst kein Zurück mehr gibt, enthüllen sich die wahren Hintergründe. Der harte Thriller wird durch Kurosawas kühle, schnörkellose Inszenierung noch intensiver. Typisch auch die verlassenen Industrieanlagen als perfekte Schauplätze. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film versuchen René von den Abspannguckern und Thomas das Gesehene zu verdauen.Weitere Filme von Kiyoshi Kurosawa bei SchönerDenken.

BUSHIDO von Kazuya Shiraishi wäre richtig gut geeignet als Einstieg in das Genre der Jidai-geki, der Samurafilme: Es geht wie immer um die Bewahrung der Ehre. Nach falschen Anschuldigungen lebt ein Samurai als Verstoßener, als Ronin, umsorgt von seiner Tochter. Als er auch als Ronin verleumdet wird, geht er auf Rachefeldzug. Im Mittelpunkt steht aber nicht der Schwertkampf, sondern das Duell am Go-Brett. Shiraishi schafft durch den weitgehenden Verzicht auf künstliches Licht eine intensive Atmosphäre. BUSHIDO ist im positiven Sinn konventionell und klassisch. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film reden wir über Kommunikation unter Männern, über die Rolle der Frau, über Prioritäten (Ehre oder Tochter) und über Shiraishis BLOOD OF WOLVES. Am Mikrofon: Helena, Malte, René, Hendrik und Thomas.

LOOK BACK hat eine weiche Stelle bei mir getroffen: Eine Coming of Age-Geschichte von zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Mädchen, die aber eine Gemeinsamkeit haben: das Manga-Zeichnen. Während das eine Mädchen mitten im Leben steht, hat das andere Mädchen so große Angst vor Menschen, dass sie nicht einmal zum Schulunterrricht erscheint. Aber über das Mangazeichnen kommen sie zusammen, entwickeln sich als Künstlerinnen gemeinsam weiter und verfolgen ehrgeizig ihr Ziel, eine eigene Serie zu veröffentlichen. Mit René von den Abspannguckern spreche ich direkt nach dem Film über den besonderen Zeichenstil, die Fülle der Themen und die ernste Ebene des Films. Klare Empfehlung (läuft zurzeit auf amazon prime).

Gut gewählt vom Festival als Eröffnungsfilm: 90 YEARS SO WHAT ist eine Komödie mit leichtem Overacting und mahcnmal überzeichneten Charakteren, aber herzerwärmend und mit ernsten Themen – basierend auf realen Personen. Ein erfolgreiche Kolumnistin und Autorin, mit 90 Jahren schon lange im Ruhestand, wird überredet, wieder jede Woche zu veröffentlichen. Das verändert nicht nur das Leben der alten Dame – gespielt von Mitsuko Kusabue. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Film sprechen Helena und Malte von SNEAKY MONDAY mit Hendrik und Thomas über grantige Rentnerinnen, Männer in der Midlife-Crisis, Mainstream und Ernsthaftigkeit.

Fünfter und letzter Film im Japanuary2025: TOKYO-GA von Wim Wenders ist eine Wallfahrt zum heiligen Ozu – einerseits mit Schwächen, andererseits mit großartigen Begegnungen und Interviews. Thomas hat im Podcast Lieblingsgast Lucas Barwenczik vor dem Mikrofon.Wim Wenders hat sich 1983 nach Japan aufgemacht – auf der Suche nach dem Tokio seines großen Regie-Idols Yasujiro Ozu. Dessen stille Filme mit klarer Form sind weltweit bekannt. Ozu beschäftigte sich stark mit Familienbeziehungen und den schwierigen Veränderungen Japans nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Mit Veränderungen hat Wenders in TOKYO-GA aber so seine Probleme: Er fremdelt unübersehbar mit dem Boom-Japan der 1980er Jahre – zu laut, zu bunt, zu modern, zu schnell, so gar nicht wie in Ozus Filmen. Dabei bleibt er überraschend oberflächlich, spricht nicht mit gleichaltrigen japanischen Kolleg:innen oder anderen Japanern.Aber er führt zwei beindruckende und berührende Interviews: mit Ozus Kameramann Yuharu Atsuta, der sein ganzes Berufsleben mit Ozu verbracht hat und Einblicke in Ozus Inszenierungsarbeit gibt – und mit Chishu Ryu, dem großartigen Schauspieler, der in fast allen Ozu-Filmen vor der Kamera stand und über die Maßen bescheiden ist. Allein für diese beiden Gespräche lohnt sich der Film. Im Podcast sprechen Lucas und Thomas unter anderem über Verehrung, Verklärung, Japan-Begeisterung, Wenders salbungsvolle Kommentare und Werner Herzogs beleidigte Landschaft.

In this special extra episode, John Borthwick of the Ministry Forum interviews W. Scott about his life journey and why he does this podcast.

Na de laatste Aziatische races zit het wegseizoen er echt op. Daarom kunnen Jeroen Vanbelleghem en sidekick Thijs van Amerongen met Sander Valentijn hun aandacht vol op de cross richten. Hoewel? Eerst natuurlijk wat nieuws, alvast over de grote rondes van volgend jaar. En daarna is er ook nog aandacht voor het WK Baan. Daarna is het tijd voor een drie kwartier crossplezier met alles wat je moet weten over het aankomende seizoen. Je hoort hoe het zit met de veranderingen in de kalender en hoe de Wereldbeker er dit jaar uitziet. Daarnaast praten we je bij over de andere klassementen en het EK en WK. Verder natuurlijk uitgebreid aandacht voor de deelnemers met een tweestrijd bij de vrouwen en een brede top bij de mannen. Totdat de ‘grote drie' komen. Maar komen die wel? En hebben we nog wel een ‘grote drie'? Wat we in ieder geval hebben zijn de drie dingen waar wij deze winter naar uit kijken in een heerlijk speedrondje tot besluit! Hosted on Acast.

First off, can we all give our Crosscast Collab partners some love?! Jump on the Sunnyside's Mindful Drinking App wave and listen to my dude Mike Hardenbrook's podcast, Journey to The Sunnyside. Episode Overview: In this special Crosscast collaboration with the Journey To The Sunnyside Podcast, we dive into my transformative journey of mindful drinking. As a high-performance coach, podcast host, and registered dietitian, I would have thought that I had healthy habits down, but after 2020, I had some lessons to learn. So join in as we discuss how tracking my alcohol consumption over 150 days (now 250+) has led to significant insights into my habits, health, and cultural influences. Throughout this episode, we explore the challenges and rewards of this journey, offering practical advice and personal reflections on accountability, honesty, and the role of technology in fostering healthy habits. Key Points: Generational and Cultural Influence: We explore how our Latino heritage and family history have shaped my early relationship with alcohol, noting the cultural tendency to keep issues within the family and avoid vulnerability. Pandemic and Self-Realization: Like many others, the isolation and lifestyle changes during the pandemic prompted me to reassess my drinking habits. We discuss how increasing tolerance and lack of awareness led to a commitment to mindful drinking. Tracking and Accountability: We share how using the Sunnyside app for over 150 days has provided the structure and support needed to stay mindful about alcohol consumption. We highlight how the app's features, such as daily prompts and progress tracking, have been crucial in maintaining honesty and accountability. Honesty and Vulnerability: We emphasize the importance of being honest with ourselves. We reflect on how mindful drinking has improved our mental and physical well-being, stressing the value of checking in with our intentions and feelings before drinking. Balancing Performance and Well-Being: Drawing from my experience as a high-performance coach, we discuss the significance of aligning our drinking habits with personal and professional values. We offer advice on how to prioritize preparation, performance, and recovery in all areas of life. Role of Technology in Building Healthy Habits: We also tackle how the supportive community within the Sunnyside app has provided a sense of safety and encouragement, making it easier to maintain genuine honesty and make positive changes. Takeaways: Mindful drinking can significantly enhance health, self-awareness, and overall well-being. Honest reflection and accountability are vital for understanding and improving our relationship with alcohol. Cultural and generational influences are impactful, but open dialogue and supportive environments can facilitate change. Tracking and planning our drinking habits are effective tools for achieving consistency and reaching our goals. Call to Action: We encourage listeners to reflect on their relationship with alcohol, seek out supportive communities, and consider using tools like the Sunnyside app to track and manage their drinking habits mindfully. Remember, real progress starts with small, intentional steps. Links & Resources: Looking to uplevel your podcast listening?

Well folks, it's the big one. They said we wouldn't make it this far. They said Alex would eventually transfer to a podcast that doesn't require a stable internet connection.

They said Lewis would sadly die of old age before finishing everyone's intros, the poor wee sausage.
