Featuring one of the best screenplays we have seen in an Atg movie, by Takehiro Nakajima (some allege it was inspired by his own life), who won a number of awards in 1976 for his effort, “Preparation for the Festival” is another great sample of the company's catalog, that takes a rather realistic, as much as comedic look at the life in rural Japan during the 50s, also channeling intense erotic elements. The film was included in the top 200 of Kinema Junpo critics, in number 157.

Premiering at the Tokyo International Festival and moving to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, “The Clone Returns Home” is Kanji Nakajima’s virtually unknown grounded sci-fi turned imaginative meditation on memory, life, and what can’t be captured within humankind’s attempt to control life. With Nakajima’s dreamscape and near-fantastical tale of being human, it’s no wonder that the movie easily attracts comparisons to Tarkovsky’s “Solaris.” The Japanese director brings his 2006 Sundance / Nhk International Filmmaker’s Award screenplay to life in this pensive piece with a small cast and a simple premise.

What happens in the manhole stays in the manhole.
That would be one way to describe this initially intiguing and increasingly outrageous Japanese horror flick, which features pop star Yuto Nakajima as a young man who, on the eve of his wedding, falls into the film’s titular trap and can’t get out.
Directed by Kazuyoshi Kumakiri (Sketches of Kaitan City) from a script by Michitaka Okada (Masquerade Hotel), the movie definitely makes the most out of its setting, concocting dozens of obstacles to keep the suspense high as its hero gets sliced, bludgeoned, heralded on social media and poisoned by toxic sewage as he attempts to escape. But about midway through, #Manhole more or less jumps the shark — or is it the manhole? — by throwing in so many twists that it veers toward gory parody.
Premiering in Berlin’s Panorama section, the film should find an audience at home thanks to Nakajima,...
