The Tatami Galaxy

Film Circle "Misogi"

As a freshman in college, the main character had joined the movie circle, encouraged by the promise of friends and the joy of filmmaking. Treated badly and having his ideas struck down by the president of the circle, 8th year student Jougasaki, and encouraged by Ozu, he devotes his next few years to making movies on his own, culminating in a documentary exposing the worst aspects of Jougasaki's character.
