Home From The Sea (Region 3 - Hong Kong Import) - Yamada, YojiReleasedatum: 30 oktober 2004
On a beautiful island in Seto Inner Sea, Seichi and Minko make their living by transporting rocks to construction sites by boats. They cherish the deepest affection for this piece of land they are attached to and enjoy their simple life there. Rapid industrial development, however, makes it impossible for them to carry on such a living style. They are forced to leave their beloved hometown in search of a brighter future, but with their everlasting longing to return. The story extols people's fondness for their native land and at the same time reflects the cruel social reality in the 1970's. Affectionately directed by Yamada Yoji, the film is considered one of the masterpieces in the history of Japanese cinema.
