The Tokyo Film Festival is giving prominent positions to leading Chinese titles in its competition and gala selections
Equal numbers of Chinese and Japanese titles adorn the main competition section of the Toyo International Film Festival, which was announced on Wednesday – three each., and “Dwelling by the West Lake,” directed by Gu Xiaogang, the surprisingly inexperienced joint recipient of this year’s Kurosawa Award.
The trio from Japan are: “Normal Desire,” by Kishi Yoshiyuki; “A Foggy Paradise,” by Kotsijui Yohei; and “Who Were We,” by Tomina Tetsuya. Japanese titles set for gala treatment include Tsukamoto Shinya’s “Shadow of Fire,” and Miike Takashi’s “Lumberjack the Monster,” Kitano Takeshi’s “Neck” and Kaneko Shusuke’s “Gold Boy.”
Among the contemporary are Chinese director Liu Jiayin’s “All Ears”; Frederick Wiseman’s “Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros”; Ira Sach’s “Passages”; Lila Aviles’ “Totem”; Pupi Avati’s “Dante”; Giddens Ko’s “Miss Shampoo”; and Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren’s “20000 Species of Bees”. The older titles include: Wong Kar-wai’s “2046”; a restored version of Franco Zeffirelli’s “Sparrow” and a new 4K version of Hong Kong director Patrick Tam’s “Nomad”.
