LET’S MAKE THE TEACHER HAVE A MISCARRIAGE CLUB
(Japan, 2012, 60 minutes)
Directed by: Eisuke Naito
Starring: Aki Miyata, Kaori Kobayashi, Hiromu Takara, Nanase Takemori, Suzuno Aiba, Sawaki Muroga, Yuriko Onuma

Coming in at a cool 60 minutes, and loosely based on a true story (no, really), MISCARRIAGE CLUB is exactly what it sounds like and like nothing you’d expect. And it may be one of our most important films of 2012, for all the right reasons. Not for the faint of heart, the movie opens on five bored junior high girls staring into a rabbit hutch. Mizuki, the dead-eyed ringleader, grabs one of the rabbits, climbs to the top of a nearby playground slide, and punts the animal to the ground, killing it instantly. The other girls giggle, but Mizuki doesn’t see what’s so funny. Their teacher, Sawako (Aki Miyata) is four months pregnant, and stronger than the rest of her impotent, ineffectual colleagues. She wants to help her Village of the Damned students, but she can’t get their parents on the phone, and she’s becoming increasingly concerned for her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

Written and directed by independent filmmaker Eisuke Naito, the nano-budgeted LET’S MAKE TEACHER HAVE A MISCARRIAGE CLUB plays like a super-compressed version of NYAFF 2010’s smash hit Confessions, only rawer, less stylized, and with an alternate, but no less unflinching, view of the human condition, and the tension of its harrowing game of cat and mouse eats away at you like vintage Hitchcock. Opposite a collection of eerily effective non-professionals, Aki Miyata gives a ferociously courageous performance in what could’ve been a thankless role, making Sawako iron-willed and deeply layered. The score features a nerve-jangling carnival calliope that turns electronic and atonal before devolving into rhythmic, throbbing pulses, and when the bravura finale comes, it’s light-years beyond the dime-store Western psycho-thrillers that talk big but can’t deliver – and contains at least one absolutely horrific shot which made even the hardened NYAFF staff gasp.

Why do the girls want to kill their teacher’s child? There are no easy answers, no pat rationales, no acceptable framework to apply. Children can be terrible and cruel. People do things they can never take back. And sometimes, just sometimes, everything changes. Here’s the deal: LET’S MAKE TEACHER HAVE A MISCARRIAGE CLUB is a truly great film. It’s a genuinely traumatic,and enlightening voyage through a waking nightmare (and beyond) which demands to be seen – especially when no one else will show it.

松江監督の「届け方」には刺激を受けてきました。観客に届けることについて話しました。
自主映画はやりたいことをやれるけど、分からないことに手を伸ばすことが大切だという話が印象的でした。
最終的には『アメージング・スパイダーマン』の不満について盛り上がりました。
