Always: Sunset On Third Street 2
Takashi Yamazaki 2007
Categories: Spring Showcase
Run time: 146 min. | aka: Always Zoku San-Cho Me No Yuhi | Japan | Language: Japanese, w/ English subtitles | Film Format: DigiBeta
The sequel to the smash hit film (the first film also was the Opening Night Film of the 9th HIFF Spring Showcase in 2006)! Spring, 1959 - four months after the events of the first film. The Olympics in Tokyo has officially been announced, and Japan is about to take its first step into a period of high economic growth. Chagawa still loves Hiromi though she has left, and he continues living with Junnosuke. Meanwhile, Norifumi, proprietor of the Suzuki Auto shop on Third Street, dreams of expanding the family business. Japan's best actors populate this charming, nostalgic throwback to a more innocent time, and top-notch production design and special effects recreate post-war Tokyo with verisimilitude. Already a hit In Japan, like its predecessor, don't miss this special North American premiere!

User Thumbnail I really enjoyed this film and by the reaction of the theatre, everyone else at the screening did so as well. The acting was excellent, with interesting characters and a nice storyline. The CG effects were also amazing. Thank you HIFF for bringing this to Hawaii!
