Though the leads lack chemistry, they nonetheless earn kudos for their performances in Michihito Fujii’s Japan-Taiwan co-production. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/05/16/film/182-beyond-youthful-days/ #culture #film #michihitofujii #hsukuanghan #greghan #kayakiyohara

Michihito Fujii’s wistful film is less than the sum of its influences. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/02/29/film/the-parades/ #culture #film #michihitofujii #netflix

Michihito Fujii’s take on the South Korean movie “A Hard Day” is more convoluted, more implausible and not nearly as much fun as it should be. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2023/05/11/films/film-reviews/hard-days/?utm_content=buffer3cacc&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #culture #film #junichiokada #michihitofujii

Michihito Fujii’s drama about a young man struggling in a village that is overshadowed by a large recycling plant is simplistic and contrived. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2023/04/13/films/film-reviews/the-village/?utm_content=bufferc0d44&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #michihitofujii #ryuseiyokohama #film #filmreview
