Omg I can't wait to see this! It actually had a showing in my city, but I missed it. I hope it comes back~
Of course it's based on Haruki Murakami's famous book, and I think it originally came out in 2010 but is just being released in the US this year (other than film festivals).
It stars Kenichi Matsuyama (Gantz, Deathnote, Husband of the lady from Kimi wa petto) and Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Moteki).
Tamayama Tetsuji is also in it. He's a hotty hot hottie from a bunch of different things. If you don't know his name, I'm sure you'd recognize his face if you watch Jdramas.
I read part of it in college and have been meaning to read the whole thing. This gives me a good excuse hehe.
Here's an interview with the director and lead actress. He actually suggests watching the movie and then reading the book. He wants them to exist somewhat independently. Idk, he says it better than I just did, you can watch the interview here:
And the trailer from "Naokos Smile"I saw it yesterday too :D
Ohh it is the same...ok my mistake xD
Btw It was in my city too^^ Last summer and I didn´t notice it :D Lol
