Sinopsis: Lily Franky's bestselling novel Tokyo Tower - Okan to Boku to Tokidoki Oton has already spawned a drama special, a TV series, and a 2007 feature film starring Odagiri Joe. As the title Tokyo Tower - Mom and I and Sometimes Dad suggests, the story focuses on a touching mother-son relationship amidst the lights of 1970s Tokyo. Without bells or whistles, Lily Franky's autobiography has sold over two million copies in Japan on the force of its nostalgic, heartwarming story of family and romance, and the film directed by Matsuoka Joji (Sayonara, Kuro) has found similar success at the Japanese box office. Acclaimed actor Odagiri Joe, in a markedly restrained performance, stars as the drama's "Boku", alongside real-life mother-and-daughter actresses Kiki Kirin and Uchida Yayako, who play the "Mom" in her young and elder years. The film also co-stars popular actress Matsu Takako (The Hidden Blade) and veteran actor Kobayashi Kaoru, and features a long line-up of unassuming celebrity cameos.After moving from the coal mining town of Fukuoka to Tokyo to study art, Masaya (Odagiri Joe) finds himself fumbling in life, unable to set a direction for himself. Masaya takes after both his parents, and is often balancing both the good and the bad he has inherited from his strong, gentle mother (Kirin Kiki) and reckless, irresponsible father. Lost in the bright lights of the big city, he struggles to make a living. Everything changes one day when he finds out that his mother has been diagnosed with cancer...
¿Y esto? ¿Una versión nueva de esta? ¡¡Pero si es de hace dos años!! Aparte que la mujer "madura" de esta versión parece bastante más madura que la del 2005. Buff... Gracias por los enlaces Conri. La pincho para Aya y compañia, pero la verdad es que me da bastante mala espina.

La pincho para Aya y compañia, pero la verdad es que me da bastante mala espina. Me parece que no, Pazguaton. Creo que lo único que tienen en común ambas películas es el título. La de 2005 está basada en una novela de Kaori Eguni y va de dos estudiantes que tienen relaciones con mujeres mayores que ellos. En cambio, la de 2007 se basa en una novela de Lily Franky y cuyo argumento nos ha proporcionado Conri.Saludos
