New Japanese Blockbusters at “Japan Film Week”
Amid the Beijing Film Panorama at the 13th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF), “Vision” - Japan Film Week will present four new Japanese films with a wide variety of genres and themes. 
  
A Still of A Hundred Flowers
The film A Hundred Flowers to be premiered nationwide on May 12 tells the story of a mother, Yuriko, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, breaking the mother-son relationship with her son, Izumi (by Masaki Suda). Izumi gradually learns about his mother and her deep love for him while spending time with her.
We know our mother, but we may not understand her. The film's director, Genki Kawamura, is more widely known as the ace producer of Japanese films, like Suzume, Your Name, Sunny: Our Hearts Beat Together, and Detective Chinatown 3. As the first feature film directed by Kawamura, this work was shortlisted in the Competition Section of the 70th San Sebastián International Film Festival and won the Silver Shell for Best Director. 
During the event, the director will be present to have face-to-face communication with the audience. Please stay tuned! We are here waiting for you!  
  
  A Still of All Lies-Wave of Dreams 
The comedy All Lies-Wave of Dreams directed by Masaharu Take is the 3rd one of the All Lies series that focuses on the forgery by the antiquary and ceramist. Kiichi Nakai and Kuranosuke Sasaki made a great combination in this film, and Aoi Morikawa is also very cute. This is an amazing comedy that cannot be missed. 
Director Masaharu Take is best known to Chinese audiences for his work 100 Yen Love. His previous films, MIRRORLIAR FILMS and The Gun, have been screened at the BJIFF, making him acquainted with the BJIFF.
  
  A Still of The Zen Diary
The Zen Diary is a highly unusual film just by its name. The film tells a story of the protagonist getting back to the nature in a year, living with the nature with all foods from land. Without any irony sense, this “aged” Little Forest Summer & Autumn presents the ordinary three meals a day and gives with a perspective on how to reconcile with life and death.
The film is adapted from the novel What to Have Today by the well-known Japanese writer Tsutomu Mizukami, who is also the original author of the film Strait of Hunger. Hotel Hibiscus directed by Yuji Nakae won the Special Jury Prize of the Tokyo International Film Festival, and Kenji Sawada and Takako Matsu both made brilliant performances in the film.
  
  A Still of Mondays: See You 'This' Week!
Mondays: See You 'This' Week! has the longest title in Chinese translation at this year’s Beijing Film Panorama. It can be seen from its name that, the film is about a time loop, which has been commonly seen among the current films. However, this film gives a new perspective of the worker.
A week of overnight work in the office with repeated modifications of the plan, is boring and endless... if you were in it, you would also be crazy. A “awakening worker” tries to break the loop! Let’s see how he does in this amazing film. 
Director Ryo Takebayashi must be an experienced worker who can make a film like this. Another short film of time loop by him, hello! Brand New World, recorded over 10 million views on famous video sites. If you like it, just go for it! Anyway, let's enjoy the new day with a good mood!
The four Japanese film masterpieces are warm-hearted and realistic, and also fantastic and funny.
“Vision - Japan Film Week” is here waiting for you!
