845 followers · 19176 posts · Server mastodon.murkworks.netwow there's some value of cinemaphotography for you - how different that same room/set looks like when shot from the different angles, really surprising.

838 followers · 18532 posts · Server mastodon.murkworks.netAnyway for some interesting and easily available in English looks at early 20th century Japan from the inside, I strongly recommend Yukio Mishima's _Sea of Fertility_ series, particularly _Spring Snow_ most in the general timeframe of this film.
(The second, _Runaway Horses_ is for me the best of the set though. And the one that follows is the least, but it does set up the final novel in the series which ... isn't as even-keeled a novel as _Runaway Horses_ but the ending that caps off the entire series is stunning.)

838 followers · 18532 posts · Server mastodon.murkworks.netI've wondered occasionally if Chihiro being renamed "Sen" in Spirited Away had anything to do with the old sen monetary unit - akin to being renamed "Penny," but also akin to being renamed "Without value."
