About
Master filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Pulse, Cure, Tokyo Sonata) won the Silver Lion (Best Director) at the Venice Film Festival for this riveting, gorgeously crafted, old-school Hitchcockian thriller shot in stunning 8K.

The year is 1940 in Kobe, on the eve of the outbreak of World War II. Local merchant and amateur filmmaker Yusaku (Issey Takahashi, Kill Bill) senses that things are headed in an unsettling direction. Following a trip to Manchuria, he becomes determined to bring to light the things he witnessed there, and secretly filmed.

Meanwhile, his wife Satoko (Japan Societys 2021 Honoree Yû Aoi) receives a visit from her childhood friend, now a military policeman. He warns her about Yusakus seditious ways and reveals that a woman her husband brought back from his trip has died. Satoko confronts Yusaku, but when she discovers his true intentions, she is torn between loyalty to her husband, the life they have built, and the country they call home.

(Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Japan, 2021, 115 min, in English and Japanese with English subtitles)

A work of someone in masterful control of atmosphere Kurosawa brings viewers into the ghastly secret that binds husband and wife together, one that could end their lives if discovered. John Lui, The Straits Times

A period drama with distinct Hitchcockian overtones in the vintage of Suspicion and Notorious. Jonathan Romney, Screen International

Accesibilidad

Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject! If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Executive Director Vivian Hua at vivian@nwfilmforum.org
