Category : EntertainmentA Scene at the Sea (Blu-ray) (English Subtitled) (Japan Version)Price: USD38.99 Following the crime and grit of Violent Cop and Boiling Point , Kitano Takeshi expanded his filmmaking repertoire into quiet minimalist drama with A Scene at the Sea , a rare directorial effort that he doesn't himself appear in. Actor, musician and surfing champion Claude Maki plays hearing-impaired garbage collector Shigeru who tries to learn how to surf after finding an old surfboard. With the support of his girlfriend (Oshima Hiroko), he persists in the sport and makes enough progress to impress the surfers who originally mocked him. He even earns an invite to a surfing competition, but he gets disqualified because he cannot hear the competition announcement. Undeterred, Shigeru becomes even more consumed with surfing, to the extent that it takes over his daily life and estranges him from his girlfriend.Other products from YesAsia |
