  • Watch Online / Sayounara UR (2011)



    Desc: Sayounara UR: Directed by Yumiko Hayakawa. With Hidenori Murata, Kyoko Nakagawa. The demolition of block 73 of the Takahatadai housing complex (Hino, Tokyo) is suddenly announced by UR (Urban Renaissance Agency, formerly the Japan Housing Corporation). The filmmaker embarks on an investigation all by herself involving concerned residents, UR, and the Land Ministry, exposing their true thoughts and feelings. The filmmaker's approach is filled with humor as she delves into Japan's public-housing issue while also bringing to the surface other systematic problems of Japanese society.
