DARLING OF THE MOUNTAINS
Katsuhito Ishii 2008
Categories: Spotlight on Japan
Run time: 94 min. | Japan | Language: Japanese
Katsuhito Ishii, a regular at our festival, is back with his new comedy, MY DARLING OF THE MOUNTAINS. The film follows two blind masseurs, Toku and Foku, as they travel between seaside spas in the North and mountain hot springs in the South. They offer their services and are very much respected by hotel owners and their patrons. Their friendship is tested when they both fall in love with the beautiful and mysterious client Michiho. Both men vie for her affection, but neither can express their feelings. Things get way more complicated when Michiho is considered a prime suspect in thefts occurring at the resort. Will Toku and Foku be able to clear the name of the woman they love or have they fallen for a thief? --Minette T. Ferrer

 User Thumbnail A sweet and careful remake of an old classic Japanese film. We were all ready to plan trips to the quaint mountain resort, only to learn at the Q&A that it was a computer generated and a miniature. Pleasant film with many chuckles.
