A Family director Michihito Fujii is now the subject of another pending release with his latest dark drama thriller, The Village. Fujii directs a cast led by Ryusei Yokohama (upcoming One Last Bloom), and Fujii’s The Last 10 Years actress Haru Kuroki.
This unusual suspense story reflects the darkness of modern society onto the isolated world of a “village.” Set in the small Japanese hamlet of Kamon Village, this story depicts the reality of its inhabitants who are unable to live with their hands completely clean. This film brims with the ills facing modern Japanese society, including environmental issues, the poverty of young people in depopulated villages, expanding society inequalities and a warped social structure that makes it impossible to recover after going astray even once. Starring Ryusei Yokohama, this unprecedented human drama fuses entertainment with real issues plaguing Japanese society.
Kadokawa and Star Sands released the film in Japan back in April. The movie now makes way for the streamer worldwide starting June 16, and a trailer is now available to preview.
