About Imôto no nioi: Yoromeki no bakunyû
Having come to Tokyo to rely on her older sister and her husband, Mariko makes a living by working part-time at a classic movie theater. She has had feelings for her brother-in-law Kenji since high school. Even though she knows that he is her sister Noriko's boyfriend, she dreams that one day he will realize her love and their love will be reciprocated. In a corner of the projection room, Mariko dozes off, listening to the sounds of the machinery...
Directed by Yumi Yoshiyuki, Imôto no nioi: Yoromeki no bakunyû leans on a strong ensemble — Saki Okuda, Ayako Kanô, Yuzu Hoshino — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2014.

6.5Heavy Traffic
1973 6.5
A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
