Japanese Movie Night – April 2025

by | Apr 1, 2025 | Classes & Events, Featured

J-Sei At The Movies (on Zoom)
Friday, April 11, 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, April 11, to watch and discuss the second film in the Samurai Trilogy by renowned director Yamada Yōji: THE HIDDEN BLADE / 隠し剣 鬼の爪 (2004) starring Nagase Masatoshi (Mystery Train; An) and Matsu Takako (Long Vacation; Hero) as a samurai and a household maid caught up in the waning years of the Tokugawa shogunate and on the verge of a new world. Winner for Best Art Direction at the Japan Academy Awards, this breathtaking movie is filled with period and location detail and characters that embody Yamada’s vision of the samurai genre.

If you would like to join us, please RSVP to jill@j-sei.org with “Apr movie night” in the subject line to receive Zoom info prior to the event.

See you at the movies!
