Beauty

At its core, Beauty follows a story that unfolds like this: Set in a small Nagano village in the 1930s, the film follows Hanji, a young boy captivated by a local kabuki performance. Inspired by Yukio, Hanji learns kabuki with Utako. As they grow, they become skilled actors, performing in a final kabuki before World War II. After the war, Hanji returns to revive kabuki and restore the community’s spirit. In the 1980s, as he nears death, the villagers organise a final performance in his honour, where he performs “Tenryu Koishibuki” for Yukio.

The pacing rewards patient viewers, layering small details that pay off later. Themes of ambition, loyalty, and consequence run throughout. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

Beauty is anchored by Takatarô Kataoka, Ainosuke Kataoka, Kumiko Aso, and Noritoshi Kashima, working under the direction of Toshio Goto. Each performance brings a different texture to the film.

The script comes from Ryūnosuke Ono, whose writing keeps the dialogue sharp. You can trace the full credits and filmographies on IMDb and TMDB.
