Directed by Furuhata Yasuo, the 1999 classic Poppoya - Railroad Man swept the top prizes including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress at the 23rd Japan Academy Awards. The late, great Takakura Ken delivers one of the greatest performances of his career as an aged railway worker looking back on his life in this elegiac character study based on a novel by Asada Jiro. Lonely stationmaster Sato Otomatsu (Takakura Ken) has spent much of his life managing the train station at the sleepy mountain mining town of Horomai in Hokkaido. As Sato nears retirement, he learns that his branch line, which has been unprofitable for years, will also be closing down. The news triggers his memories of a lifetime devoted to work, and the sacrifices and regrets made along the way in regards to his family. Sato finds life changing in unexpected ways when a girl who reminds him of his late daughter appears. This edition includes four postcards.
