The film that took Japan by storm is now on DVD. From Takashi Yamasaki, the visionary director behind Juvenille and the sci-fi hit, Returner, comes Always - Sunset On Third Street. No film in 2005 had a higher profile in Japan than Always, which was reflected when it scooped twelve out of a possible thirteen awards at the Japanese Academy Awards in March 2006.
The film uses a combination of elaborately constructed sets and cutting edge CGI work to recreate Tokyo in the 1950s. It is a heartfelt, nostalgic look back at a time when the country was changing and developing, soon to experience an economic boom that would forever alter Japanese culture.
