Solid entry in the Tora-San series
|
"Tora-San's Talk of the Town", the 22nd film in the series, is a prototypical Tora-San movie. The film begins with a funny dream sequence featuring 'Tora Buddha' showering riches and good health on his family. Then, over the title sequence, we once again see Tora walking by the Edogawa causing a ruckus as he returns to his home. Naturally, once he returns home it doesn't take long for him to stir up trouble there. And, of course, Tora will encounter a great beauty and fall head over heels in love with her. We see these elements over and over again in the Tora-San films -- and yet they never lose their charm, they never fail to engage us and cause us, once again, to laugh and cry along with Tora's family. Tora's uncle is bothered by back pains. The family decides to ease his burden by hiring someone to help out at Toraya and do the delivery work. They are stunned when Sanae (Ohara Reiko), a pretty, professional-looking young woman, shows up to apply for the job. She is hired and is embraced by the entire family. But Sanae harbors a secret. She is married, but she is separated from her husband, who she acknowledges to be a decent man, and is seeking a divorce. Tora's family is shocked. (One wishes the story might have explored Japanese perceptions of the morality of this nice woman divorcing a good man.) Tora, naturally, falls in love with Sanae. And she turns Tora's world upside-down when she tells him that she likes him. But Tora is not the only man smitten by Sanae's charms; her cousin has loved her since they were children and now hopes that he may have a chance with her. During his travels, Tora encounters Hiroshi's father. This odd couple always is a source for comic gold, as the dour, bookish old man is bemused by Tora's pleasure-seeking. Tora seeks (and inevitably misunderstands) the wisdom the old man imparts, wisdom around which Tora seeks to shape his life ... until he encounters the next pretty face. "Tora-San's Talk of the Town" is a slight, but very enjoyable, film. The Shochiku remastered DVD is a joy, delivering clear, crisp images. The inexpensive Panorama DVD is adequate, although its picture has a yellowish hue. I actually prefer the looser, less formal translation found in the Panorama disk's English subtitles. |
