It's amazing how many people romanticize about such TV Shows like Downton Abbey but when a similar type of film for the cinema is released we seem to turn our noses up at it. In Japan things are alot different, period films are embraced like The Little House (Chiisai Ouchi) which is set for a early 2014 release and today we can enjoy the film's first trailer.
Directed Yoji Yamada and based on award winning novel by Kyoko Nakajima The Little House is based around a love affair set in 1920's Tokyo. Taki (Haru Koruki) a young woman who works as a maid for a Toy company employee Masaki who lives with his wife Tokiko (Takako Matsu) and 5 year old son. Over several visits one of Masaki's collegue Shoji who sparks a love affair with Tokiko, an affair Taki observes quietly but now 60 years on she now reveals her version of the affair.
The film sounds very elegant, visually the sets, costumes look wonderful, whilst the trailer may consist of mostly dialogue we may not understand you can see why period drama is still very popular in Japan. The Little House is due a 25th January 2014 release in Japan.
