The Bread of Happiness (しあわせのパン) follows a young married couple, Rie and Sang, who move from Tokyo to Lake Toya in Hokkaido Prefecture to start a bakery-restaurant named Mani.
Based on the novel by Ito Ogawa, Rinco’s Restaurant follows Noriko as she opens a restaurant called Snail Restaurant, in which she prepares food for one table a day.
On this issue we’ve got a special coverage on the Stockholm Film Fest, including a Q&A with Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga, and several reviews from the festival’s films like Precious, Up in the Air, and The Cove which will play a big part on the coming award shows…
This year was the festival’s 20th anniversary, so it was supposed to be a good one. Looking at the movie list, I must say that they didn’t disappoint. There was a great mix of movies from all over the world, although Africa was underrepresented and Asia got a bigger representation.
