Orion-za Kara no Shotaijo (DVD) (Japan Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Japan's recent love for nostalgia cinema reaches its climax with The Invitation From Cinema Orion, a nostalgic film about film. Based on an Asada Jiro short story, The Invitation From Cinema Orion builds love and memories around a small cinema house in 1950s Kyoto. With great art direction and technical credits, the film's gentle and aesthetic rendering of the past is comparable to that of Always - Sunset on Third Street and Yellow Tears. Directed by Saegusa Kenki, The Invitation From Cinema Orion assembles a stellar cast with the pairing of Kase Ryo (I Just Didn't Do It) and Miyazawa Rie (The Twilight Samurai), Higuchi Kanako (Memories of Tomorrow) and Taguchi Tomorowo (Who's Camus Anyway?), and esteemed vets Harada Yoshio and Nakahara Hitomi.

With their marriage on the rocks, middle-aged couple Yoshie (Higuchi Kanako) and Yuji (Taguchi Tomorowo) receive an invitation to attend the final screening at the closing Orion Cinema where they met as kids. The invitation awakens their memories, bringing them back to the 1950s and that neighborhood movie house called Orion. Back then, the theater was run by grumpy manager Matsuzo (Uzaki Ryudo) and his gentle wife Toyo (Miyazawa Rie). Nerdy film aficionado Tomekichi (Kase Ryo) soon begins working at the theater as an apprentice, but he is forced to take over after Matsuzo's unexpected departure. Quietly running the cinema together, Tomekichi and Toyo's relationship grows closer and closer over time under curious neighborhood eyes.
