What is the name (4 words) of the film that Hou Hsiao-hsien filmed in memory of Anjiro?

◎ Jane

Coffee Time is a film specially made by Hou Hsiao-hsien, a famous director in Taiwan Province, at the invitation of Matsuzaka Company in Japan to commemorate the centenary of the birth of the late Japanese film giant Yasujiro. This is also the first foreign film made by Hou Hsiao-hsien in a foreign language. The story describes that the owner of an old bookstore falls in love with a girl who works in Tokyo. They fell in love, and there were subtle emotional problems between them and their elderly parents. The theme of this film is the daily life of urban families described in Ozu's films.

Hou Xiaoxian accepted this shooting task last year. The film started shooting in August 2003 and was shot in Tokyo and Hokkaido respectively. It was closed at the end of February last year. Hou told the Japanese media that Ozu's films highlighted people's concerns and reflected the changes in Japanese society through family life. This film inherits Ozu's restraint and concealment in expression. Houdao said that in addition to expressing the subtle differences in Japanese society as truly as possible, he was curious and excited about the differences between his new film and Ozu's film. Although their times are different and their social life forms have changed, people are still the same and the methods of expressing their feelings are the same.

Now, imagine a cup of coffee, try to change your mood, forget everything that happened before, and put yourself in the next thing you want to do. This may only be a short period of time, but this coffee break is a treasure that contains the above contents.

In Tokyo in 2003, Yoko (Yo Hitoto), a freelance writer, returned to the residential area with trams from Taiwan Province last night. Before she returned to Takasaki's home, she decided to go to a second-hand bookstore first. The owner of this bookstore is Zhao (), who took over the bookstore from his father.

When Yoko first came to the bookstore to look for information, she and Zhao became good friends. Soon, she met Zhao's best friend, Chengzhi (the sage of Akihara) who owns a restaurant, and the three of them became very good friends. Yoko is studying the information about Jiang, a musician who was born in Taiwan Province but now lives in Japan. Zhao Bangyang finds the information.

Yoko's parents divorced when she was very young. Yoko was raised by her uncle who lives in the northern rural area of Hokkaido and suffers from amblyopia. But Yoko has established a good relationship with her biological father (played by Kobayashi) and his new wife (played by Kimiko Yo).

Yoko returned to his father's home for the annual Bonin Festival held in August. At this point, she has not been with her parents for a long time. She announced to her family that she was pregnant. And this sudden news shocked her father and stepmother and made them fall into silence.

After collecting enough information about Jiang, Yoko went to Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. She visited Ueda High School, where Jiang Wen attended, and the kindergarten staff who had a profound influence on Jiang Wen's future work. She has been following in Jiang's footsteps.

Zhao is an avid train enthusiast. He likes to collect the sound of trains in his spare time. Therefore, he often meets Yoko on the platform of the railway station. Yoko recently returned from Taiwan Province and gave Zhao an old pocket watch as a gift, which belonged to a 50-year-old Taiwan Province train driver.

Yoko found that she could say anything to Zhao. When she was with Zhao, she felt unusually calm and peaceful.

Yoko likes to drink coffee everywhere, especially when sitting in a coffee shop. Yoko and Zhao don't talk about any results, they just enjoy each other's time quietly.

On the other hand, Ye Zhao likes Yoko. When he learned that Yoko was pregnant, he was shocked and he couldn't express his feelings. In this case, Yoko received the news that Uncle Hokkaido was going to have eye surgery.

One day, Yoko's parents came to Tokyo to attend a friend's funeral. When Yoko's parents were eating potato stew made by his mother in Yoko's apartment, they issued an ultimatum to Yoko's pregnancy. Yoko admitted that the child's father was a student when she was teaching Japanese in Taiwan Province province, and he ran an umbrella factory in Xiamen. But Yoko has no intention of marrying him. Although Yoko's father was worried that his daughter would become an unmarried mother, he still did not express his feelings.

Yoko fell asleep on the train. When she woke up, she found Zhao waiting for her beside her. On an ordinary afternoon, Yoko began to think about his life, his family and building his new life.

comment

Although Hou Hsiao-hsien said "you can't make a movie like Hou Hsiao-hsien", although Hou Hsiao-hsien resolutely supervised the sequel to Meteor Garden. However, Hou Xiaoxian can only be Hou Xiaoxian. At such a time, it is appropriate to talk about Yasujirō Ozu with him. We can't see the film for the time being, so we can't describe it, but we can find that Houdao, like Ozu, rarely talks about politics and only does small things. There are no fables, only details. The lens focus of Ozu and Hou Hsiao-hsien is always firmly fixed on people, which is consistent with the artistic characteristics advocated by Venice for many years. A director in Taiwan Province province who asked not to be named said that it's a good time to drink coffee, just like a gentle hand stroking your back.
