August is here. Somehow, it doesn’t feel like a busy month film-wise, but I’m probably just being misled here simply because it’s a) a month without any major festivals and b) I’ve probably blanked on some event. Or it might just be the quiet before the storm – after all, the film fest season normally kicks off in September…

What’s on? Well, to start with, we’ve got the nationwide cinematic release of a Studio Ghibli film to be excited about as「コクリコ坂から」(Kokuriko-zaka Kara/From up on Poppy Hill, Japan, 2011) finally makes it to the UK. Some other Ghibli screenings (in cinemas, on TV and online) also celebrate the event, making it yet again a good month for fans of the animation studio. August also sees the home media release of Sono Sion’s 「希望の国」 (Kibou no Kuni/The Land of Hope, Japan/UK/Taiwan, 2012) by Third Window Films, which too comes with a few cinema showings in different parts of the country. And there is the surprise of a secret K-horror film about which no details can be revealed, but which you can learn more about if you join the Mondo Pop email list (details below).

Miscellanea

Drama recommendations:

– 미생 (Misaeng, 2014). No better kdrama than this. A rare slice-of-life offering from Korea.

–「ありふれた奇跡」(Arifureta Kiseki/Ordinary Miracle, 2009). One of those rare gems I randomly stumbled across.

Listening to:
トクマルシュゴ (Tokumaru Shugo)
2CELLOS
ONE OK ROCK
정성하 (Jung Sungha)
