This episode Adam and Ben share their experiences with the latest idiosyncratic release from Third Window Films "Zokki".
Three of
Japan's most talented and prolific actor-directors have joined
forces to adapt Hiroyuki Ohashi's cult manga series about
characters in "an obscure corner" of the world. The film's five
loosely connected storylines concern the secrets and lies, fears
and tears, and puerile potty jokes that punctuate their daily (and
in one eerie case, nightly) encounters.
Adam also
explains the difference between bringing a brand new film like this
to the western audience was why he got started in film distribution
in the first place, and how releasing legacy films just became part
of the game thanks to an ever-changing market.
They also
discuss how #metoo has finally arrived in Japan thanks to a
Japanese-American actor who began to talk about what he saw during
one of these director workshops.
Zokki is out
on April 25th and available to buy now at an introductory offer
price from Terracotta Distribution via this link - https://shop.terracottadistribution.com/products/zokki-bluray
