About Man of Starlight / Joyful!!II
A revival of a Japanese masterpiece that premiered in 1976 with the Snow Troupe, starring Natsuko Teime, and was replayed in 2007, starring Natsuki Mizu, who also starred in the Snow Troupe. Among the many stories related to the Shinsengumi, the episode centering on Okita Souji mixes truth and truth, refreshingly and sadly reciting his short but turbulent youth.
Directed by Shibata Yukihiro, Man of Starlight / Joyful!!II leans on a strong ensemble — Mizu Natsuki, Yuri Shirahane — 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 history titles of 2007.
