Join us on this episode as we feature highlights from one of the largest celebrations of international cinema in Japan, the Tokyo International Film Festival, held for the 32nd year last fall (2019). The festival's opening film was "Tora-san, Wish You Were Here," the latest installment in Japan's most beloved comedy series, which marked its 50th anniversary last year. From the Japan Cinema Splash section, "Flowers and Rain" was met with a highly positive reaction. Finally, "Earthquake Bird," produced by Ridley Scott and shot entirely in Japan, was presented as a special screening at the festival. With us as a special guest is Ms. Georgina Pope, the producer who originally started the project.
