NOLA Japanese Cinema Series - Free Screening of DEADBALL

Monday, Sept 21st - DEADBALL by Yudai Yamaguchi 

Please join us for NOLA JCS – a monthly Japanese film series hosted by the Japan Society of New Orleans and Charitable Film Network with support from "Monday Movie Night at Café Istanbul."

Baseball prodigy Jubeh Yakyu (Tak Sakaguchi) is the most feared and dangerous juvenile delinquent in all of Japan. After accidentally causing the death of his father with a super-powered, deadly fireball pitch, Jubeh swore off baseball and became a criminal and now, at 17, has been sent to the Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory for hardened criminals. Headmistress Ishihara, the granddaughter of a World War II Nazi collaborator, runs the institution with an iron fist and the enthusiastic help of her sadistic assistant, Ilsa. After arriving at the hellhole, Jubeh soon learns from governor Mifune that his long-lost, younger brother Musashi had also done time there after a murder spree, but had since died mysteriously. Japanese with English subtitles. (99 minutes, 2011)

FREE Admission - Social from 6:00 to 6:30 with open bar; cash bar from 6:30 to 8:30.
