Marriage Counselor Tora san

Marriage Counselor Torasan , Otoko wa Tsurai yo Yogiri ni Musebu Torajir? is a 1984 Japanese comedy film directed by Yoji Yamada. It stars Kiyoshi Atsumi as Torajir Kuruma Torasan, and Rie Nakahara as his love interest or Madonna. Marriage Counselor Torasan is the thirtythird entry in the popular, longrunning Otoko wa Tsurai yo series.

Stuart Galbraith IV writes that Marriage Counselor Torasan is a better entry in the Otoko wa Tsurai yo series, though it differs considerably from other films in the series, both formally and thematically. Torasans wandering life is portrayed harshly, rather than lightheartedly, and his familys stable life is shown in the more positive light. Galbraith concludes, With its darker tone and atypical structure, Torasans Marriage Counselor is like a breath of fresh air following a series of recent, somewhat repetitive entries. The Germanlanguage site molodezhnaja gives Marriage Counselor Torasan three and a half out of five stars.Marriage Counselor Torasan was released theatrically on August 4, 1984. In Japan, the film has been released on videotape in 1987 and 1996, and in DVD format in 2005 and 2008. ........
