This miraculous film adaptation of the long-running bestseller that touched the hearts of 2.1 million readers is finally here. Based on the bestselling novel by the talented Lily Franky, the story candidly explores the relationship between parent and child, society and the individual, and what changes and what remains constant over time, all centered on his memories of his late mother. Amid a social phenomenon sparked by successive TV drama adaptations, the theatrical version has finally arrived! Joe Odagiri plays the protagonist, “I.” Known for constantly reinventing himself with fresh images, he quietly portrays an ordinary man. Meanwhile, the role of “Mom”—arguably the true star of the story—is played by the renowned actress Kirin Kiki. Having made her mark as a distinctive supporting actress, she stands at the center of the film, confidently portraying a gentle, warm, resilient, and humorous Japanese mother. Yayako Uchida, making her first foray into serious acting, portrays the younger version of \"Okan.\" Her dual role alongside her mother, Kirin Kiki, is one of the film’s highlights. Furthermore, the cast is absolutely stellar, featuring the talented Kaoru Kobayashi as \"Oton\" and Takako Matsu—a leading actress of the Heisei era—as \"Boku’s\" girlfriend! The screenplay is written by Suzuki Matsuo, who is of the same generation and hails from the same region as the original author. He has accurately grasped the spirit of the original story—about a boy raised in a Showa-era coal-mining town in Chikuho who watches over his mother as she passes away beneath the Tokyo Tower in the Heisei era—and skillfully reimagined it as a film script without compromising its charm. The director is Joji Matsuoka, known for \"Butterfly Fish\" and \"Goodbye, Kuro.\" Having fallen in love with the original work early on, Director Matsuoka avoids creating a mere \"tearjerker\" and instead portrays the rich spirit inherent in Japanese cinema through the presence of people and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52542026580257,"sku":"4988021128360","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988021128360.jpg?v=1775503452","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/4988021128360","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
