Cha no Aji / The Taste of Tea (English Subtitles) Goodtaste Edition [Limited Edition] (Japan Import)
JPN-REDV-82
Katsuhito Ishii, the director of the cult classic "Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl" and creator of "Kill Bill" 1 & 2's title sequences, takes on a new direction and creates a marvelously quirky, touching tale of a young girl (Maya Banno) and her outwardly normal family. In reality, Mom is a former Manga artist desperate to return to the job, Dad is a hypo-therapist who's not beyond practicing on the family, her Brother has reached the hormonal boiling point, and Grandpa (Tatsuya Gashuin, the hitman from "Shark Skin Man") has taken a vacation from reality. The film is loaded with fantasy elements, the manifestations of our character's inner thoughts, including the little girl's giant alter ego that pesters her at the worst possible times. Look for a guest appearance by master animator Hideaki Anno. Emi Wakui, the nagging wife of "Tange Sazen," narrates the film. Comes with a bonus disc containing making-of featurette, Super Big Complete Edition, Hajime-kun Alternate Version, and more. A 16-page deluxe booklet included (expected).Original Release Year: 2003
