SUMO DO, SUMO DON'T (1992) - REMASTERED
Shiko funjatta – Less about Sumo
than about traditional values and the Japanese perspective of traditional
values. It's a real peek into the Japanese mind, and it's told with a touch of
humor.
The movie tells the story of a University Sumo Club in Japan. In today's Japan, the younger generation are more interested in "Western" sports like Baseball and Basketball. Professor Anayama, a former University Sumo Champion, blackmails graduating (and slim) student Shuhei into joining the decimated University team, or he doesn't graduate.
Along with a pro-wrestler, a gaijin (white guy) and an unpopular chubby guy the team begins training for competition, even though none of them cares about Sumo at all. Gradually, they develop a love and respect for the traditional sport.
Winner of 5 Japanese Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor.
Director: Masayuki Suo
Stars: Masahiro Motoki, Misa Shimizu and Naoto Takenaka
1992 – JAPANESE with OPTIONAL ENGLISH SUBTITLES – COLOR – 16:9 ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN - 104 MINUTES
