夢の女

May 29, 1993
Famed onnagata (a man who plays women's parts in Kabuki) Tamasaburo Bando follows up on the success of his directorial debut, Gekashitsu, with this soft-focused romance about love and obligation, based on a novel by Kafu Nagai. Set during the Meiji period (1868-1912), Kaede (Sayuri Yoshinaga) is the former mistress of a wealthy merchant. When he dies, she is forced out on the street and forced to give up her young daughter to the merchant's family. The film opens with her working in a high-class brothel abutting Tokyo Bay. Though she has passionate affection for a drug wholesaler, whom she loves as well, Kaede is swamped with not only debts to the bordello and family obligations -- she is expected to support her parents and her sister -- but also guilt over losing her child. This pain is only increased when Kaede learns that her daughter is being abused. She does the only thing she can: She buys back her child by signing on at the brothel for a longer stint.

Spectreman

Mar 25, 1972
La série se déroule au xxe siècle, dans un monde où la pollution est devenue un problème d'envergure internationale. Pire encore, le Docteur Gori, un homme-singe extraterrestre d'une intelligence diabolique, cherche à s’emparer du pouvoir en créant des créatures monstrueuses à partir de la pollution générée par les humains. En réponse aux agissements de Gori, la Fédération Galactique dépêche alors Nébula 79, un satellite artificiel dont la fonction est la sauvegarde des planètes sous-développées de l'univers, pour prendre la situation en mains. Ordinator, l'entité invisible qui dirige Nébula 79, envoie son meilleur agent, le cyborg Spectreman, pour contrecarrer les plans du Docteur Gori. Mais Spectreman doit toutefois conserver son identité secrète pour agir efficacement, aussi revêt-il une apparence humaine dans la vie de tous les jours, endossant le rôle d'un garçon de bureau gaffeur du nom de Georges, travaillant au sein de la Brigade Anti-Pollution de Tokyo.
