Japanese films I've watched from the 1990s

Making of Dreams: A Movie Conversation between Akira Kurosawa and Nobuhiko Obayashi (1990)

A log of all the films I have watched in 2018. I only give full number ratings on scale from 1 to 5. This means I sometimes have to make difficult calls in whether I round down or up IMDB scores (e.g. 7 becomes either 3/5 or 4/5 feature for the review blurp). But in the first place numerical ratings are only rough indications of film's quality and merit so I think this is fine.

Tasuku Nagaoka and Yuki Mamiya in Wet Woman in the Wind (2016)

Decade defined by the burst of the "bubble era" economy and collapse of the Japanese economy. Titled the "lost decade" of Japanese cinema but there are still heaps of quality films and even some masterpieces to be found. Here is my personal list of 100 of them worth watching.

List formed out of the 210 japanese live action movies I've seen from the 1990s. Inspired by the Mark Schilling book: Contemporary Japanese film. Best directors of this era judged by quality and quantity: Takeshi Kitano, Jun Ichikawa, Shinji Somai, Rokuro Mochizuki and Juzo Itami.
