Megane Series: New Directors/New Films [March 26 - April 6, 2008] Director: Naoko Ogigami, Country: Japan, Release: 2007, Runtime: 106 Screenwriter/director Naoko Ogigami’s fourth feature is a comedy as refreshing as shaved ice on a warm afternoon. A propeller ride away, where the sky is deep blue and the sandy beaches curve into the ocean, stands a unique seaside inn. Taeko, a serious young woman and the first client of spring, rolls in her gigantic suitcase, unaware that her needs will be minimal. She is greeted in a curious manner by the staff and is soon confounded by the customs, cuisine and general oddity of her hosts. Are they quite sane? Zen in spirit, gentle in plot, and absolutely cinematic in style, Megane offers the joys and delights of a Shangri-La with sushi on the side. Mon Mar 31: 9:00pm (WRT) Wed Apr 2: 6:15pm (MoMA) Born in Chiba Prefecture in Japan, Naoko Ogigami moved to the United States in 1994 to study film at the University of Southern California. Megane is her fourth feature.
