Concrete (2004)
On the 25th of November 1988, four youths abducted and held Furuta Junko in the house of one of the captors. Subjected to rape, torture, and humiliation, Junko had no hope of escape as the manhunt was stalled by the captors forcing her to tell her parents that she was ok. For 41 harrowing days, Junko had to endure unimaginable suffering at the hands of these four individuals. Finally, after losing in a game of mahjong solitaire, they beat her with an iron dumbbell and set on fire with lighter fluid. She died later that day from shock. In an attempt to hide their crime they buried her in cement and thus the name 'Concrete Encased High School Murder Case' was born as Japan had to confront the horrors of this crime. The perpetrators disposed the drum in a tract of reclaimed land in Koto, Tokyo.

Ozuland: David Bordwell on Good Morning (2017)
Film scholar David Bordwell discusses Ozu's 1959 color film Ohayo (Good Morning). He analyzes Ozu's use of color, composition, and his characteristic transitional shots. While some see this film as a remake of Ozu's 1932 silent I Was Born, But..., Bordwell believes the connection is not that simple, and contrasts elements of the two films, outlining Ozu's growth over his decades of work, and the variations he worked within his chosen limits.
