March of Kamata

The period drama actor Ginshiro (played by Touo Kazama) was a big star who was popular with thousands of viewers at the time. He was handsome, suave, and proud. In order to strive for the top, he persuaded his pregnant girlfriend Xiaoxia (played by Keiko Matsuzaka) to commit to the unattractive but kind-hearted actor Anji (played by Mitsuru Hirai), while he turned to pursue Tomoko (played by Takami Chika), the daughter of a movie giant. Xiaoxia develops symptoms of pregnancy poisoning. In order to ensure the safety of mother and child, Anci accepts filming of various dangerous actions to earn money to buy nutritional supplements. After getting along for a while, Xiaoxia's balance gradually tilted toward Anci. And Ginshiro is facing the biggest dilemma in his career... The film was adapted from the 85th Naoki Award-winning novel of the same name, and won eight 1983 Japanese Academy Awards for Best Actress (Keiko Matsuzaka), Best Actor (Mitsuru Hirai), Best Director, Best Film, Best Soundtrack, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (Tutter Kazama) and Best Newcomer (Mitsuru Hirai).
