How do you follow up a film about a college student with memory loss aspiring to become a masked wrestler? This is the dilemma faced by Japan's Norihiro Koizumi, who made his debut a couple years ago with Gachi Boy an outrageously feel-good flick that proved a huge hit on the festival circuit. His solution: do something absolutely, completely different.
Due for release in Japan in June, Koizumi's new film is titled Flowers. An ensemble drama that tracks the lives of six women over three generations it's hard to imagine anything more different from Gachi Boy but given Koizumi's skill with characters - and just how spot on the period elements to this appear in the teaser - I'm happy to go anywhere he cares to take me.
