Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi

$12 | $8 Speed members
After his great success with House at Toho, legendary filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi was given the notoriety to start dabbling in the mainstream. His adaptation of the electrifyingly popular 1967 Japanese novel The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was the first adaptation of Yasutaka Tsutsi’s book and was the second highest grossing Japanese film in its release year of 1983. After breaking a beaker at school that releases a lavender-like scent causing student Yoshiyama Kazuko to faint, she wakes up the following morning with the ability to travel through time. Sentimental and sweepingly romantic, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is part of Obayashi’s Onomichi trilogy, which include coming of age sci-fi films set in the town of his birth. 1983, Japan, DCP, in Japanese with English subtitles, 104 minutes.
