SYNOPSIS
Based on a Yasunari Kawabata short story. A university professor (Takao Kawaguchi) decides to go for a tour in Akihabara, guided by a young woman (Luchino Fujisaki) dressed up like a French maid. As they both walk through the streets of modern Tokyo, the man and the young woman gradually speak of a past they both share, and ultimately a painful love triangle that continues to haunt them.

Selected for competition at the 66th Venice Film Festival.

冬のある夜 -秋葉原で「メイドツアー」のアルバイトをしている主人公は大学教授の男と１年ぶりに 再会する。
会話が進むにつれて、２匹の金魚をめぐる２人の過去が明らかになっていく。

kingyoは早稲田大学大学院の安藤紘平教授の指導のもと、学生が主体となって手掛 けた映画である。監督はマレーシアからの留学生で修士１年のエドモンド・楊、プロデュ ーサーは修士２年の板垣麻衣子。

川端康成文学にインスパイアされて生まれた本作は、カメラ２台を駆使し、全編を左右に ２分割された画面で描くことで、男女２人の動きを余すことなく魅せると共に、秋葉原を 舞台に耽美な世界観を表現。

メイドと金魚。
新しい日本と伝統的な日本。‐外国人監督ならではの感性で、日本文化の美しさや妖しさ が万遍なく散りばめられた作品となっている。

I really want to see this movie. When will it be released on dvd? When you release it, I hope you do so at a reasonable price; those japanese dvds cost ways too much. 45 dollar? Here in Europe, arthouse cots about 12 dollar :-/ Looking amazing nevertheless ^^

[kingyofilm2009]

I'm not sure when this will be released on DVD. Being short film at all, unless I have enough of (worthy) short films to compile into one DVD collection. But I will definitely try my best to ensure it will be done at a reasonable price. :D

Oh my. Excellent. Excellent in the sense that I don't completely understand it but I want more of it. Like there's something rippling right beneath the surface.
