Megane (film)

Megane , Glasses is a 2007 Japanese comedy film written and directed by Naoko Ogigami. The film is set on an unnamed Japanese island and tells the story of a vacationing university professor who comes in contact with several eccentric local inhabitants. The movie is a followup to Ogigamis 2006 film Kamome Shokudo, and features two of the same actors. It was featured at several film festivals including the Sundance Film Festival. During production, Ogigami decided the title of the movie after an impromptu realization that all of the characters in the film wore glasses.

The first morning of her vacation Taeko is woken by a kneeling Sakura at her bedside, who greets her with a cheerful Ohayo gozaimasu good morning and invites her to join in the islands morning aerobics. Taeko declines but later wanders down to the beach to watch the islanders performing what Yuji calls their merci exercises, a light aerobics program invented by Sakura. Taekos fishoutofwater feelings are only accentuated when Yuji attempts to explain twilighting to her, a local pastime consisting of thinking while staring off into the horizon.After a few days Taeko becomes fed up with the quirkiness of the inns residents and checks into the Marine Palace, the islands other hotel, but rapidly realizes that the forced labor mentality at the Marine Palace is not to her liking. Lost but rescued by Sakura on a tricycle, Taeko returns to the inn where she is later joined by a former student, Yomogi Ryo Kase and slowly learns to accept and then love the inns unique way of living. ........
