Filmmakers explore Japan's infamous doomsday cult, Aum Shinrikyo, with mixed results
Today the saga of Aum Shinrikyo — a doomsday cult that killed 13 Tokyo commuters and poisoned many others with sarin gas in 1995 — seems like something out of a bad manga. What could have possessed so many well-educated middle-class people, to follow Shoko Asahara, a deranged guru who taught a mishmash of Buddhism and nonsense?

Rural migration, shaved ice and no easy endings in 'Umi no Futa'
Why not abandon your stressed urban existence, move to a picturesque part of the world and live the simple life? An old dream, but still powerful, as shown by the recent spate of Japanese movies about women getting back their grooves by relocating to a beautiful middle-of-nowhere. Usually their dream has something to do with food or drink and not a lot to do with men. They blend and sell gourmet coffee, like Hiromi Nagasaku in "Saihate nite: Yasashii Kaori to Machinagara" ("The Furthest End Awaits"), or grow organic crops, like Ai Hashimoto in the two-part "Little Forest," in a sort of splendid isolation.
