More movie news dear readers as we’ve just received word that Eureka! Entertainment has acquired the UK rights to the new film from Kiyoshi Kurosawa, JOURNEY TO THE SHORE, and we have the newly revealed the UK quad poster and UK trailer here for you to check out on Blazing Minds.
Multi-award winner Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Tokyo Sonata, Pulse, Cure), embarks us on a love story that challenges our usual conceptions of life, death and half-life.
Mizuki’s husband drowned at sea three years ago. When he suddenly comes back home, she is not that surprised. Instead, Mizuki is wondering what took him so long. She agrees to let him take her on a journey.
“In Japanese, there is a verb for the act of accompanying a dying person, or watching over them until their death. It is called ‘mitoru’. It remains to be seen if it is possible to translate all the subtleties of this word into a foreign language..” – Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Eureka Entertainment told us that they are proud to continue their association with the work of Kiyoshi Kurosawa, winner of Best Director, Cannes 2015 Un Certain Regard. In Journey to the Shore, he re-teams with Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer, Zatoichi, Thor) who also starred in Bright Future, and the Japanese actress Eri Fukatsu.
