About New Aniki and Me: Hot Blood, One Ball
Takuma continues his wandering journey in search of his half-brother. It all started when Takuma's father, who ran a construction company, passed away. His older brother is the child of a woman his father once dated, and his father also searched for his whereabouts, but was unable to find him. So his father left a will. As a condition for Takuma to inherit his estate and company, he seeks out his older brother and the two of them are asked to prosper the company. The clues are a bell and a katakin that were once given to my father by his lover. Apparently, my brother injured his groin when he was a child. Takuma finally discovers that the bell is being sold at a shrine in Aniki Town. He then goes to the public bath, Ani Oniyu, and begins his search for a single-minded man, but...
Directed by Yoshikazu Katō, New Aniki and Me: Hot Blood, One Ball leans on a strong ensemble — Takuma Hibiki, Goro Sato, Hajime Ota — 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 2008.

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.
