In this article, Variety points out an interesting fact, how japanese tv/cinema producers are playing the nostalgia card for the years 1955-1965. When Japan was building his glorious economy. A trend started in 2005 (?) with Always – Sunset on Third Street, years before the popular american tv show Mad Men.
And it’s going to continue with Yamada’s Younger Brother, Zero Focus, The Waste Land…
But is this specific to Japanese Cinema? Not sure. In this documentary, director Christophe Gans was also talking about the nostalgia in recent French Cinema (Amelie in 1999).
Could it be a ‘world-wide wave’ flooding on populations scared by ‘difficult times’?
