クール・バナナ(1993)
At the last moment, my grandmother said. "...Banana. It's been a long time since all the relatives of the Yoshimoto family gathered at the main house. Grandma was in a critical condition. As everyone looked on at her bedside, she murmured. Bananas...". Does Grandma want to eat bananas so badly? My grandson runs. Every time a box of bananas that he has worked so hard to get is plucked and placed in the mouths of his relatives, a little piece of drama emerges. I want to eat the last banana. This bizarre and comical setting is a true story that the director read in a magazine once. The conversations between men, daughters-in-law and grandchildren that take place at family gatherings are stereotypical and familiar to everyone. The boringness of the film, on the contrary, results in a contrast between life and death.
