SYNOPSIS
Miako Tadano, director of Three Year Delivery, is well known for her performance in the film Blood and Bones by Yoichi Sai. Born in 1973, she poses a question to Japanese society from her perspective as the generation to inherit the student movement of the 60s and 70s: What remains in the Japanese psyche after a ruthless industrialization aimed at economic opulence?
Perhaps, they are big adults whose inner states are still infantile, in the same way that Japan has chased after only economic growth while neglecting something just as important. In her feature debut, Three Year Delivery, the director approaches the question what is ‘adulthood’ by the metaphorical use of ‘parenthood.’ Although her metaphor may leave some room for debate, this humorous and impressive film demonstrates the director’s very distinctive talent to engage with societal problems.
