海へ 〜See you〜

海へ 〜See you〜 (1988)

Team DANKAI are set to compete in the Paris-Dakar Rally, an off-road endurance race spanning thousands of miles and multiple continents. Prior to the event, DANKAI leader Mizuki is ordered by their sponsor to add popular celebrity Ryuichi Yoshii to the roster for publicity. This exacerbates DANKAI's resentments and baggage. Needing a steady hand to mediate dispute and navigate their support vehicle, Mizuki recruits legendary retired mechanic/driver Eiji Honma to the team. Soon Honma discovers his ex-wife Kei is also participating in the rally, alongside her current husband, the bullfighter Antonio Vázquez. Honma's truck also comes to include stowaway passenger Yuko Takei, Yoshii's pop star girlfriend who is trying to salvage their relationship.

Umi e, See You is a 1988 Japanese auto racing epic film directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara and written by Sō Kuramoto. It is based on the story Suna no bôkensha by José Giovanni. The plot revolves around the Paris-Dakar Rally, an off-road endurance race spanning 13,000 kilometers and multiple continents. It follows the lives, loves and losses of the competitors of Japan's Team DANKAI during the 1988 competition. Umi e, See You was theatrically released by Toho on May 18, 1988, and stars a multi-national cast with Ken Takakura in the lead role, alongside Junko Sakurada, Philippe Leroy, Nenji Kobayashi and Ayumi Ishida.

Production

Umi e is similar to an earlier Kurahara production, Safari 5000 (1969), which was also an epic-length film about a rally raid in Africa (specifically, the Safari Rally).

The film was shot in multiple countries, including Japan, Finland, Italy, France, Spain, Algeria, Niger, Senegal and various locations in North Africa including the Ténéré desert. Extensive filming took place on location at the actual Paris-Dakar Rally sites. Cinematographers Tsuguzo Matsumae, Kikuma Muneta and Tatsuo Mori assisted with on-location shooting.
