SELaplana >> DVD, Movie >> The Kon Ichikawa Story – Japanese Movie – English Sub DVD

It has been three years since pop auteur Iwai Shunji’s last film Hana and Alice, and his latest offering may seem a bit surprising. In a marked departure from his previous youth-centric works, his new film is a documentary about legendary director Ichikawa Kon, whom Iwai cites as one of his greatest influences. In a momentous career spanning over fifty years, 91-year-old Ichikawa Kon has long established himself as one of the great masters of Japanese cinema. A lifetime his junior, 44-year-old Iwai Shunji has, through acclaimed films like Swallowtail Butterfly and All About Lily Chou-Chou, emerged with a distinct voice and language of his own amongst the current generation of filmmakers. This documentary, appropriately titled The Kon Ichikawa Story, marks the rare marriage of two of Japan’s most interesting and celebrated filmmakers in one feature film.

In 2006 while Ichikawa was shooting Murder of the Inugami Clan, a remake of his epic classic The Inugami Family, Iwai was shooting The Kon Ichikawa Story. Simply speaking, the documentary tells the life story of the master director from birth to present, but this being an Iwai Shunji film, the presentation differs from a conventional documentary. Using text, photographs, clips, and interviews from the movie set, Iwai weaves a revealing and arresting profile of a man who has lived through a century of changes, and helped shape the face of modern Japanese cinema.
