Portland premiere of the high-definition digital transfer of the original film, featuring new and improved English subtitles! Part of the Hanabi Film Festival 2026. Limited festival passes available while supplies last. Doors open at 5:30 PM; film at 6:00 PM. Ten years after being blacklisted from the film industry following his successful suit against the Nikkatsu Corporation, who fired him over Branded to Kill, Seijun Suzuki (Tokyo Drifter) returned with a darkly satirical take on manga material from popular sports author Ikki Kajiwara. The editor of a sports magazine grooms fashion model Reiko (Yoko Shiraki) to become a pro golfer, while retaining exclusive rights to her likeness. Reiko’s popularity soars after she wins her first tournament and she becomes a media sensation. However, her newfound fame takes a dark turn when an obsessive fan starts to blackmail her. Screened in Japanese with English subtitles. Director: Seijun Suzuki Year: 1977 Country: Japan Runtime: 93 minutes Event link: https://cstpdx.com/event/a-tale-of-sorrow-and-sadness/
