Swing Girls / Suwingu gâruzu (2004)
Comedy | Drama | Music
Get ready to swing! From the makers of 'Shall We Dance?' and 'Waterboys' comes 'Swing Girls', an inspirational zero-to-hero tale about a group of girls who find their rhythm – and then some! Tomoko (Ueno Juri) leads a group of bored girls stuck in remedial summer math class, who decide to ditch their boring teacher (Takenaka Naoto) to deliver lunches to the school brass band. But the girls' extreme laziness causes the lunches to spoil, and soon nearly the entire brass band gets sick. The remaining member is Takuo (Hiraoka Yuto), who recruits Tomoko's classmate Sekiguchi (Motokariya Yuika) into the band, even though Sekiguchi's musical talents are entirely in question. But Tomoko and the other girls soon follow, partly to get out of math class, and partly because it's their fault that the entire band got sick in the first place! But there's a catch: nobody knows how to play a wind or brass instrument, much to the dismay of Takuo, who proposes that the girls play swing band jazz – and take their act all the way to a battle-of-the-bands finale! Will the girls find a way to swing like tested jazz musicians, or will they discover that maybe math isn't so bad?

Gomorra / Gomorrah (2008)
Crime | Drama
Made up of six short episodes with six main characters–all revolving around the four-sided criminality between the port of Naples, Scampia, Castelvolturno and Terzigno, and based on the best selling book by Roberto Saviano, 'Gomorrah' is a story of power, money and blood. These are the "values" that the residents of the province of Naples and Caserta confront every day; they have practically no choice, and are forced to obey the rules of the "system"- the Gomorra. Only a lucky few can even think of leading a "normal" life. The stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly fictional world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality.
