Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals
First Image From Kurosawa’s TOKYO SONATA!
Posted by Todd Brown at 5:35am.
Posted in Film News , Drama, Asia.
We are huge fans of Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa - of Cure, Kairo and Bright Future fame - around here. With his new film, Tokyo Sonata, the auteur steps away from the genre film where he made his name in favor of a more straightforward family drama but anything new from Kurosawa is immediately noteworthy and we’ve just received the first still to be released from the new picture.
TOKYO SONATA is a portrait of a seemingly ordinary Japanese family. The father who abruptly loses his job conceals the truth from his family; the eldest son in college hardly returns home; the youngest son furtively takes piano lessons without telling his parents; and the mother, who knows deep down that her role is to keep the family together, cannot find the will to do so. From the exterior, all is normal and the same. But somehow, a single, unforeseeable chasm has appeared within the family, only to spread ever so quietly and quickly to disintegrate them.
Teruyuki Kagawa, Kyoko Koizumi, Haruka Igawa, Yu Koyanagi, Kai Inowaki and Koji Yakusho star. You’ll find a larger version of the still linked below.

Twitch readers might be interested in this feature I wrote about the film (mainly aimed at film business people, mind).
