Liquid ~ Ghost Wine Miracle Brewer (2015)
Director: Takashi Gen
Starring: Hideaki Ito / Yu Karamoto / Masahiko Tsugawa
Douban score: 9.0
Japanese skit, 3 episodes, 48 minutes each, recommended for friends who like Japanese sake.
The drama tells the story of Sagaraku Sake Brewery, a fictional sake brewery in Ishikawa Prefecture, from the brink of closure to the resurrection of the dead. The plot did not have much conflict, and in the end, the protagonist and his party did not open the protagonist aura, did not get any awards, but only received special attention from the judges and a good reputation.
In the words of Douban netizen @Mo Xiangyijian: "Suitable for watching in a tired evening and getting some spiritual comfort." The movie experience is the same as the theme, such as sake, the entrance is not heavy, the taste is sweet, there are some heavy things in the play, but they are all diluted and will not affect the experience of the viewer. Many times for film and television dramas, what they pursue should not be the novelty of the plot setting, but how to let people put aside distractions and calm down to watch a long video in this impetuous era. ”
The show also shows the brewing process of Japanese sake and conveys a lot of sake knowledge (traditions, stories, and customs), which can be regarded as a sake teaching film for ordinary enthusiasts.

This film is the last part of the four-part series of the famous French New Wave director Hou Mai's "Four Seasons on Earth" (the other three are the stories of spring, summer and winter).
The film tells the story of the heroine Magli, who runs a small vineyard and insists on not using herbicides for fear of affecting the quality of the wine, resulting in a messy vineyard. She would rather pay the price of a cut in production than prove that the wine she brewed tasted as mellow as Burgundy wine, and the love story of two men who suddenly broke into her life. Raise a glass of red wine and face the rich vineyards to understand that only the soul is as mellow and lasting as wine is the grower who knows the wine path.
Another point is that the style and color of the protagonists in Hou Mai's films are very interesting, very classic French.
