Now showing in new 4K restorations, Ryosuke Hashiguchi's films "Hush!" and "All Around Us" offer comedic but sensitive portraits of oddballs and misfits from the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/07/24/film/hush-all-around-us/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #ryosukehashiguchi #japanesefilm #taekimura #lilyfranky #reikokataoka #seiichitanabe #kazuyatakahashi #lgbtq

What is "Ultraman"? And what lessons does the superhero have for humanity? A documentary asks — and answers — these questions through interviews with Hideaki Anno, Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro and other cultural luminaries. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/07/02/film/origin-of-ultraman/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #ultraman #tbs #japanesetv #japanesefilm #hirokazukoreeda #yutakanakamura #kazukiyoshida #masahiroonda

I probably can’t make any if the current showings but this looks interesting: #Film Blue Boy Trial Blue Boy jiken, ブルーボーイ事件 #Japanese #JapaneseFilm https://www.jpf-film.org.uk/films/blue-boy-trial “Tokyo, 1965. “Blue Boys”, transgender women who live and work as prostitutes, cannot be prosecuted as they are legally registered as male. Frustrated, authorities instead arrest Dr. AKAGI Masao (YAMANAKA Takashi), who performs gender-affirming operations, accusing him of violating the Eugenic Protection Law.” #Trans #History

Is assisted suicide an act of kindness or a societal shortcut? Banmei Takahashi’s “Euthanasia Special Zone” doesn’t give a clear-cut answer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/01/29/film/euthanasia-special-zone/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #banmeitakahashi #ayakaonishi #katsuyamaiguma
