The latest work by writer Mayumi Nakatani and director Kyoichi Itagaki, who have steadily gained popularity for their sad and warm comedies Beautiful Sunday, Paper Marriage and This Time for Loving Wives in the Third Stage SHOWCASE series, will make its first appearance at the Parco Theatre this spring. Set in the everyday life of contemporary Japan, the play carefully and carefully depicts the strengths, weaknesses and hidden sides of the characters. The seemingly serious story, lightly wrapped in a great sense of comedy, will make you laugh, feel sad, and feel sorry for yourself as you are drawn into the world, and in the end, you will love all the characters. A very orthodox, yet unlikely comedy. Well-made, but never scheduled, this play is sure to satisfy you beyond your expectations. We are proud to present "Father's Love - Family Tale" in the hope that more and more people will experience the happiness of watching a play. Please look forward to it.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
