SF International Film Festival: Tamako in Moritorium

Atsuko Maeda stars as Tamako

In the new film, Maeda will play protagonist Tamako, a lazy young woman who does nothing all day but lounge around and eat.




Tamako graduated from a Tokyo university, but when she couldn’t find a job she was forced to return to her father’s home in Kofu. Instead of helping out with her father’s business, she spends her time eating and sleeping. The story depicts her baby steps forward in life as the seasons change over the span of one full year.



According to director Yamashita, Maeda is particularly good at portraying Tamako’s misplaced anger, laziness, and hopeless attitude.

Two British guys who do a lot impersonations, kind of funny and behave badly together while on vacation in Italy - good food and scenery of Italy though.
