(CPV) – The Japanese Film Festival: Comedy 2012 organised by the Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam will take place in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Phan Thiet from October 25 – December 1, 2012.
When overseas, Japanese, businessmen in particular, are seen as very serious and not good at telling witty jokes to foreigners. In an extreme case, some even believe Japanese look like Noh masks, never showing any emotional expressions on their faces.
However, they tell jokes to each other, laughing at comical dramas on TV, on stage, and on film. In short, their sense of humour is enriched with various cultural products, including films.This year’s Japanese Film Festival introduces the diversity of comedy in hopes of sharing their laughs and smiles with the Vietnamese audience. Eight popular and smash-hit films all made in 2000s have been carefully selected to showcase the variety of comical senses in Japanese film.
The films will be screened at the festival including Cannonball Wedlock; A Good Husband; Permanent Nobara; The Chef of South Polar; Double Trouble; Summer Days with Coo; Mind Game; Hush!
The event will take place in Hanoi from Oct 25 to Nov 4 at the National Cinema Centre, in Phan Thiet from Nov 16-18 at the 19/4 Cinema, and in Ho Chi Minh City from Nov 24 – Dec 1 at the Dong Da Cinema./.
