Japanese Movie Night – March 2025
J-Sei At The Movies (on Zoom)
Friday, March 14, 6:30 pm
J-Sei Movie Night is dedicated to the wonderful and fascinating world of Japanese cinema, as well as Japanese American and AAPI films!
Join us on Friday, March 14, to watch and discuss a classic samurai film of the 21st century: THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI / たそがれ清兵衛 (2002) by legendary director Yamada Yoji (known for the long-running Tora-san film series) and starring internationally renowned, award-winning actor Sanada Hiroyuki (Shogun) as “Twilight” Seibei, a low-ranking samurai striving to perform his duties while remaining devoted to his loved ones. Even if you’ve seen it before, watch it with us again; this movie, which swept the 2003 Japan Academy Awards, deserves multiple viewings.
If you would like to join us, please RSVP to jill@j-sei.org with “Mar movie night” in the subject line to receive Zoom info prior to the event.
See you at the movies!
