Akai hashi no shita no nurui mizu description
This strange fable of a movie, like other movies by Japanese director Shohei Imamura (The Eel, Dr. Akagi), is both enchanting and perplexing. After being laid off, a salesman (Koji Yakusho) travels to a small town to seek out a treasure hidden by an elderly friend of his.

A Very Happy Comedy: Delightful And Funny!
|
My wife gave this film to me as a present a few years ago. I am a bit biased about this film. I give it five stars because I really think this is a very good film, and more importantly, it's so darn different from so many other films I have seen. I really like the acting of Koji Yakusho, and I wish more of his films were accessible here in the west. In fact, I would like to see him in more films. I think he is an incredible and underated actor in Japan. The film is a very strange one. The film starts with Yosuke Sasano (Koji Yakusho) being let go of the firm he works, and wondering where he will find a job at his age.
One of his friends is named Taro, who is a homeless old man, and he likes to revel in tales of his past youth. In one of these stories, and before his death, he tells Yosuke about a treasure of gold that he hid in a house near the sea in Noto. The treasure is near a red bridge. Out of work, with no idea as to when he will work again, Yosuke decides to leave Tokyo in search of this hidden gold. However, he comes across someone who has a very strange problem. The house where the gold is supposedly hidden also is the very house where this strange beautiful woman lives. Her name is Saeko (Misa Shimizu).
I don't want to give away her problem, as this will ruin part of the story for you, and the film. However, I will say that her problem is of a sexual nature. But the way it is treated is very hilarious and I might add, done in a happy sort of way. The Saeko's grandmother also lives in the house with her, and she is waiting for the man who left her, and promised to come back. However, that man was Taro, the homeless man who has since died. This is a delightful comedy that I really enjoyed, and I recommend that you at least rent it, because it is a charming film. High recommendations. |
