The Legend of the Stardust Brothers

Portland premiere of the new restoration!

Part of the Hanabi Film Festival, running select days Aug. 18 – 31. Limited festival passes available for access to all films.

Get ready to experience the wackiest cult film you’ve probably never heard of—The Legend of the Stardust Brothers is the 1980’s Japanese answer to Phantom of the Paradise and The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Macoto Tezka (son of manga legend Osamu Tezuka) and his friends transformed the soundtrack to a movie that didn’t exist into a real-life motion picture with a story about a shady music mogul who brings together a punk and new-waver to form the Stardust Brothers—a silver-jumpsuited, synth-pop sensation. A wild cult hit in Japan, this newly-restored, unsung gem returns to the big screen for the first time in decades. And what better place that the home of Rocky Horror—The Clinton Street Theater!

Screened in Japanese with English subtitles.

As a special treat SakéOne will be offering limited complimentary sake tastings to the first few people through the doors and selling a selection of bottles to take home, including their Naginata, G50, Moonstone Plum, and Momokawa Pearl varieties, along with Murai Family Sugidama imported from Hachinohe.

SakéOne is Oregon’s only sake brewery and the nation’s largest importer of Japanese sake, leading the way in specializing in American Craft Premium sake with passion, tradition, and innovation.
