Erik, the Asian Movie Enthusiast presents: • A review of “The Taste of Tea”, a Japanese comedy from 2004 that was directed by Katsuhito Ishii. Tadanobu Asano has a supporting role. • The film follows the lives of the Haruno family, who live in a rural Prefecture in the countryside north of Tokyo. Nobuo is a hypnotherapist. He teaches Go to his son Hajime. Hajime becomes an excellent Go player, but he has a rough time with girls and puberty. Yoshiko refuses to be an average housewife and works on animated film projects at home. She uses assistance from grandfather Akira, an eccentric old man who is a former animator and occasional model. Eight-year-old Sachiko periodically sees a silent, giant-size double of herself which mimics or benignly watches her. She contemplates ways to rid herself of it. Uncle Ayano is a sound engineer and record producer who comes to stay for a visit. He engages in inward reflection, seeks closure regarding an old relationship, and recounts a childhood experience – a tale that influences Sachiko and ties into later events. • This is probably this director’s most critically acclaimed and beloved film. • Check out my Japanese movie review playlist: • Japanese Movie Reviews
