Screening in the Tokyo International Film Festval’s Nippon Cinema Now section, “Remember to Breathe” is director Sugita Masakazu’s second feature, following his 2014 “Joy of Man’s Desiring,” winner of a Special Mention in the Generation Kplus section of the Berlin Film Festival.
Based on an original script by Sugita, the film stars Inoue Mao as Yuko, a mature woman who suddenly finds herself living with her estranged mother (Ishida Eri), after the latter causes a fire in the house of her son and daughter-in-law. In course of the film we learn, more through her silent expressions than her spoken words, why Yuko finds it so hard to get along with her mom, who seems a fun-loving and even caring type, quickly making friends with a neighbor’s young daughter. But in the final scenes all is devastatingly revealed in a highly focused, carefully calibrated performance by Inoue.

A trailer has been released for Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s upcoming monochrome movie My House.
Inspired by Kyohei Sakaguchi’s books on inventive “homeless” architecture, “Tokyo 0 Yen House 0 Yen Seikatsu” and “Sumida-gawa no Edison”, the film depicts the contrast between homeless people living freely in a big city with the life of an elite junior high school student and his obsessive compulsive mother. Singer-songwriter Takao Ito, who has released six solo albums, plays the main protagonist.
Plot: Suzumoto-san (Ito) and his friend Sumi-chan (Eri Ishida) are homeless, but they’re happily building a makeshift home in the corner of a city park. Suzumoto takes his bicycle to turn in aluminum cans for food money and finds things he can use from what other people discard. Meanwhile, an academically gifted junior high school student named Shota (Sada Murata) lives a completely opposite, stress-filled life.

Director Yukihiko Tsutsumi will be following up the high-profile release of “Spec: The Movie” with a far more subdued black and white film called “My House” that’s been 5 years in the making. Details were first announced in late January and the poster art was revealed earlier today.
Back in 2007, Tsutsumi read a magazine article about the work a man named Kyohei Sakaguchi was doing to challenge the established idea of what a home should be and the negative stereotypes of homeless living. Two of Sakaguchi’s books on the subject, “Tokyo 0 Yen House 0 Yen Seikatsu” and “Sumida-gawa no Edison”, are the inspiration for this project as well as the distinct departure from Tsutsumi’s past directorial style.
The film is set in Nagoya, Tsutsumi’s own home city, and will star Nagoya-based singer-songwriter Takao Ito as a homeless man named Suzumoto. Eri Ishida, Itsuji Itao, and Tae Kimura will also appear.
