Im Museum of Modern Arts in New York läuft bis zum 30. August ein Mammutwerk von Ryûsuke Hamaguchi. Mammutwerk, weil es eine Lauflänge von stolzen 317 Minuten hat.
Zur Story:
Happy Hour takes this unique approach to depicting the highs and lows of the friendship between four women, who are all in their late thirties, and in fact all exactly the same age: Jun (Rira Kawamura), Akari (Sachie Tanaka), Sakurako (Hazuki Kikuchi) and Fumi (Maiko Mihara).
They are all married save for divorcee Akari. We are first introduced to them as they ride a cable car to a hilltop picnic lunch overlooking a city which is shrouded in a fog which, as one of them observes, is an apt metaphor for their futures. They plan to get together for a trip to a hot spring, which is easier said than done in terms of coordinating their work and home schedules to make this possible; Sakurako finds it especially difficult to negotiate the rather tightly controlled nature of her duties as a stay-at-home spouse.
Hier gibt es ein umfangreiches Review:

Trailer:
Klingt sehr interessant. Ich hoffe, dass sich ein Label wie third window films dieses Werkes annimmt.

Bleibt dann nur noch zu hoffen dass die knapp Fünfeinhalb Stunden dem Titel hinterher auch gerecht werden :D
