Trailer for Isshin Inudô's MAISON DE HIMIKO (MEZON DO HIMIKO)
The official website for Isshin Inudô's Maison de Himiko (Mezon do Himiko) is online, and there's a trailer for the film here. In the film, Min Tanaka plays Himiko, a terminally ill gay man, and the founder of the titular gay seniors home Maison de Himiko. (According to producer Osamu Kubota - quoted here - the inspiration for the film's story came from his having read an Asahi newspaper article - see the December 21, 2000 entry here - on the Home for Golden Gays, a gay seniors home founded in Manila by Justo C. Justo.) Kou Shibasaki (a.k.a. Kô Shibasaki) plays Himiko's estranged daughter Saori, and Jô Odagiri (a.k.a. Joe Odagiri) plays his lover Haruhiko.
BTW, Odagiri plays Tetsuya Taguchi in Satoshi Miki's upcoming film In the Pool (In za pûru), which also stars Suzuki Matsuo as psychiatrist Ichirô Irabu, Maiko as nurse Mayumi-chan, Seiichi Tanabe as Kazuo Ômori, and Miwako Ichikawa as Suzumi Iwamura. For more info on In the Pool, see Pony Canyon's English-language webpage for it here; to view a trailer for it, click here.

In the Pool looks like a lot of fun ... I'd seen posters for it but never spotted a trailer until now ... nice ... beautiful camera work in Himiko, too ...
