Thank you!

Can anyone tell me what this instrument is? A transverse flute with the embouchure hole near the middle. This is a scene from Kurosawa's THE QUIET DUEL. Is the actor just playing the instrument incorrectly?

Musicology friends, I've been trying to watch more Japanese films. Two films I've watched - Twenty-Four Eyes (1954) and From up on Poppy Hill (2011) - featured "Annie Laurie" in the underscore. Is this tune known by some other name in Japan, or does the tune have some significance to the Japanese?

Watching "About Last Night" for the first time. Been mostly bored with it, but this moment made me laugh out loud

Figured my first post should be Oscar Levant related. Thursday in rock class, before demonstrating a 12-bar blues in boogie-woogie style, I explained I would play with my "customary arthritic abandon." No one laughed. That's ok.
