\nCast: Kirin Kiki, Masatoshi Nagase, Kyara Uchida, Miyoko Asada, Etsuko Ichihara<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 2, NYC, 2\/17\/16<\/strong>

Eating is a social occasion to such an extent that we may feel sorry for those, like business executives, who must often dine alone.\u00a0 People bond over food.\u00a0 State dinners are de rigeuer in much of the world, sharing of food helping along agreements between countries.\u00a0 And people bond as well over cooking.\u00a0 Though cooking at home is often a solitary event until your mate gets home (\u201cHi Honey, what\u2019s for dinner?\u201d) in restaurants the cook and his assistants hopefully have close relationships at least when the chef de cuisine is not yelling.\u00a0 Naomi Kawase points out in \u201cSweet Bean,\u201d known in its original Japanese simply as \u201cAn,\u201d that even in a tiny establishment, relationships between the cook and his assistant, the cook and his customer, can be a profoundly spiritual event.\u00a0 In fact the characters herein, based on Durian Sukegawa\u2019s novel\u2014Tokue (Kirin Kiki), Sentaro (Masatoshi Nagase) and Wakana (Kyara Uchida)\u2014are lonely individuals who come together over a seemingly un-exotic food known as dorayaki, giving delightful uplift to each solitary life.\u00a0 Each comes across as a drudge, their days passing one upon the other, but when the trio get together, it\u2019s like the marriage among pizza dough, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese.\u00a0 Or in this movie, like pancake dough, humble beans, and Mother Nature herself.<\/p>\n

Writer-director Naomi Kawase\u2019s previous works include \u201cStill the Water,\u201d about a young couple who discover a dead body in the water and through it learn something about the cycles of life, death and love.\u00a0 \u201cSweet Bean\u201d flows in a similar zen pattern, the lowly bean leading to a breakthrough, as the manager of a tiny pancake establishment experiences a similar epiphany.<\/p>\n

Sentaro (Masatoshi Nagase) manages a tiny restaurant\u2014really a simply stand with four seats for customers.\u00a0 To the naked eye, he\u2019s just another grunt trying to make a living in the only way he knows how.\u00a0 His sweet bean pancakes are acceptable, but from the time he opens each day at eleven, he has never seen a line of customers.\u00a0 His regular patrons include a trio of giggly high-school girls who tease him good naturedly, and a fourth girl, Wakana (Kyara Uchida), who is shy and for reasons not really explained does not intend to go to high school.\u00a0 Enter Tokue (Kirin Kiki) an eccentric 76-year-old woman, who applies for and grudgingly receives the part-time job of assistant cook, and whose preparation of sweet beans from scratch rather than from a pre-processed supplier brings in the crowds.\u00a0 She shows \u201cboss\u201d step by step the long process of preparing the beans daily, and talks to the food, which at first looks like one of her eccentricities but which we are led to believe is her invocation of nature to assist her in making the delicious snack.\u00a0 The rumor spreads that she has Hansen\u2019s Disease, which is true, and which will ultimately put an end to her brief happiness, but not before she receives a wonderful visit at the sanitarium from the 15-year-old girl and Sentaro.<\/p>\n

This drama with significant comic elements proceeds along at an awfully slow pace, one which is patient at disclosing the flaws in the principals: Sentaro has a problem with alcohol and had been incarcerated; Wakana has problems with her single mother; Tokue, who may represent Nature herself, has been isolated from society and is dying.\u00a0 Yet \u201cAn\u201d could be called a feel-good drama because of its spiritual uplift, one which does not hesitate to focus attention on the local cherry blossoms, evoking a poetic mood which will find a cultured audience willing patiently to give each frame its needed attention.\u00a0 The film, in Japanese with English subtitles, highlights the splendid performance of Kirin Kiki\u00a0 Call her the Japanese Maggie Smith.<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 113 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
