Balloon,too light to unbearable Seijun Suzuki,Yumeji

Among the things that are said to Taisho Roman trilogy of Seijun Suzuki, Zigeunerweisen and Kagero-za were I do not know how many times to see them. But Yumeji ( Yumeji Takehisa was Taisyo-era popular painter,whose pathetic women figures were well known) was not so much, but still 5 or 6 times or I would have. This Try again review, it is of course be sufficiently interesting, but it was felt again if this film do not reach before two other works.

First,it does not have much sense of openness. Indoor scene a lot, even to go out, since the mountains of Kanazawa, there is a feeling sealed. Therefore there is no sense of movement. At Zigeunerweisen , Yoshio Harada and Fujita Toshiya was always walking, and at
Kagero-za, Yusaku Matsuda was walking around aimost desperate forms " but, Kenji Sawada of Yumeji was just lying. Zigeunerweisen was based on Hyakken Uchida's short storys and Kagero-za was combined some of the work of Kyoka Izumi (screenplay all three works by Yozo Tanaka ), but I don't know well how part original  in the Yumeji, what extent of episodes of real life have been taken, location and character has original model.

Actress Masumi Miyazaki , Tomoko Mariya, Kabuki actor Bando Tamasaburo singer Kenji Sawada, it is too light. Speaking of Seijun specific character, Fujita Toshiya of Zigeunerweisen , Nakamura  Katuo and  Ryutaro Otomo of Kagero-za, they were like some coagulated thing ,existed in screen, such ware most  attractive, but such person does not appear in the Yumeji. Lastly,objects that just the core, bone image is Zigeunerweisen, whereas the ground cherry  of Kagero-za, but, in Yumeji, fluffy emotional and something of too light to be intolerable ,that is, paper balloon.

Hirota Leona's the role was paraｌlel to  Mariko Kaga of Kagero-za  but,her dignity is insufficient. However, scene that are attached to big pickle barrel was interesting.
