Slowing a spiral of negativity in Mipo Oh's 'Being Good'
When I was a student teacher at an elementary school in Livonia, Michigan, I saw some things that shocked me. Once I watched a male teacher grabbing a disruptive fourth-grader by the neck and forcing his head toward the floor, while pouring out a stream of sarcastic abuse upon him.

Hill of Freedom: 'Looking for lost love in a Seoul back alley'
Speaking in another language makes you a different person, especially, I've noticed, if you happen to be a non-native fluent in Japanese. The mild-mannered Aussie transforms into a slangy tough-guy, rolling his r's and living in his own mental version of a yakuza movie. And the frank-talking American who transforms into a master of self-deprecatory, reflexively apologetic keigo (polite language) and wins the "more Japanese than the Japanese" award in her Tokyo suburb year after year.

The long, bone-chilling gaze of new director Ayumi Sakamoto
Directors have various ways of communicating in interviews — beyond the usual talking points, that is. Koji Fukada drew me geometrical diagrams to explain the intertwining relationships in his coming-of-age drama "Hotori no Sakuko (Au Revoir l'Ete)." Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki sketched me Ghibli-esque cartoons with a suprising fluency as he discussed the gestation of a new Hayao Miyazaki film. But Ayumi Sakamoto, director of the so-called female-frenemy drama "Forma," is the only one I've met who shapes the air with her hands as she talks, conjuring up images of a sculptor working with unusually pliable clay. A sculptor, I should add, with precise ideas about her art and articulate ways of expressing them.

Female anxiety shot from every angle
The Japanese film industry used to be like much of the rest of Japanese society: male-centered and male-run. It made plenty of movies about women and for women, but their directors were all men. That began to change when Naomi Kawase won a Cannes Camera d'Or prize in 1997 for her first feature, "Moe no Suzaku (Suzaku)," but for a long time she headed a very short list of female directors here.
