This film stars Haru Kuroki, Kirin Kiki, and Mikako Tabe as a drama about her life. The director is Tatsushi Omori, who also directed "Mahoro Ekimae Tada Benriken" and "Goodbye Valley."
SHOGUN
ハリウッド映画ですが、真田広之、浅野忠信、他、日本の俳優さんが出演しています。真田が演じる吉井虎永は、徳川家康をモデルにしたフィクションのキャラクター。彼の領地に漂着した船に乗っていたジョン・ブラックソンという名の航海士は、思いもかけず、武将たちの権力争いに巻き込まれていくことになる物語。お抹茶を飲むシーン、グッときます。
Although it is a Hollywood movie, it stars Japanese actors such as Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano. Sanada plays Toranaga Yoshii, a fictional character modeled on Tokugawa Ieyasu. The story is about a navigator named John Blackthorn who is shipwrecked on Ieyasu Tokugawa's territory and ends up getting caught up in a power struggle between warlords. The scene where he drinks matcha tea is very touching.
MY FAIR LADY
美貌のオードリー・ヘップバーンが花売りの下町娘を演じ、ひょんなきっかけで、言語学者ヒギンズ教授から発音矯正を学び、素敵なレディに変わっていきます。貴婦人らしいお茶の進め方を学ぶシーンもあります。衣装はジバンシィが手掛けてるのも見応えの一つです。
The beautiful Audrey Hepburn plays a flower girl from the downtown area, who by chance learns pronunciation correction from linguist Professor Higgins and transforms into a beautiful lady. There is also a scene where she learns how to serve tea like a lady. The costumes were designed by Givenchy, which is also worth seeing.
ごちそう茶事
日本茶が好きな方に面白いドキュメンタリー映画を見つけました。
日常と非日常の間にある時間を満喫するような、お茶の時間を演出する「嗜好品」としての日本茶が描かれています。
本作品の発起人・プロデューサーのたかつまことさんによると、これまで知っていた日本茶の世界を広げ、人の心を動かす「新しい日本茶の入口」を感じてもらう。そんな意味も込めて映画を「うつわ一杯の”非日常”」と表現したということです。
日本茶を飲みながらゆっくり鑑賞してみてください。
We found an interesting documentary film for fans of Japanese tea.
It portrays Japanese tea as a "luxury item" that enhances tea time, allowing you to enjoy the time between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
According to Takatsu Makoto, the initiator and producer of this film, the film aims to broaden the world of Japanese tea that people have known so far, and to give people a sense of "a new entrance to Japanese tea" that moves their hearts. With this meaning in mind, he described the film as "a cup of tea that is extraordinary."
Please take your time to watch the film while sipping a cup of Japanese tea.
