Transfer Student/Exchange Students/I Am You, You Are Me
1982. Japan. Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. Screenplay by Wataru Kenmotsu, Hisashi Yamanaka. With Toshinori Omi, Satomi Kobayashi, Makoto Sato. With Toshinori Omi, Satomi Kobayashi, Makoto Sato. Obayashi, the director of the 1977 cult classic House, makes a rare appearance for the opening weekend of MoMA’s Art Theater Guild exhibition. His 1982 film Tenkosei is a kind of Japanese Freaky Friday: an astute exploration of gender politics disguised as a tender coming-of-age comedy. A paranormal incident causes an adolescent boy and girl to swap minds and bodies, leading them to discover the blessings and foibles of becoming the opposite sex. In Japanese; English subtitles. 112 min.
