MIKA NINAGAWA

Based on the renowned comic series "xxxHOLiC" by the charismatic creative group CLAMP. Ninagawa, who has been a fan of the original work since its publication, which depicts the idea that "a price is necessary to make a wish come true”, has been developing the idea for about 10 years and finally brought it to fruition. Ryunosuke Kamiki plays Kimihiro Watanuki, a lonely high school student who can see the "spirits" that haunt the darkness in people's hearts, and Kou Shibasaki plays Yuko Ichihara, the mysterious and beautiful proprietress of a mysterious "store" that grants wishes in exchange for a price.

Ningenshikkaku (No Longer Human, published in 1948), completed shortly before the author’s death, is one of top Japanese fiction writer Osamu Dazai’s best-selling works, accumulating record sales of 12 millions copies. Written from the perspective of three women involved with him, Dazai skilfully depicts how the idea of losing one’s humanity is born. With a wife and child in tow, Dazai finds himself flung into romances and multiple suicide attempts, the women involved ultimately wanting to fulfill their own selfish desires. In contrast to the novel, this dramatic movie portrays the women as strong and robust characters exuding fresh and alluring beauty. With undeniable appeal, charisma and talent, Osamu Dazai played by Oguri Shun, becomes entangled with three women in his life; his wife played by Rie Miyazawa, the mistress played by Erika Sawajiri, and a heartfelt companion portrayed by Fumi Nikaido. Jun Miyake, one of music’s greatest masters, joins the team in this star-filled ensemble. The movie opens 13 September, 2019.

Diner, originally a novel by Yumeaki Hirayama, had been deemed impossible to depict as a film due to its radical content. To tackle the difficult task of “creating a film without age restrictions”, Ninagawa employed creative tactics true to form, such as replacing blood splashes with red rose petals, and using rain and cherry blossoms as a backdrop for a battle scene. Former murderer and genius chef, portrayed by Tatsuya Fujiwara, along with a waitress portrayed by newcomer Tina Tamashiro, come together with a group of fantastical assassins in a diner. Top creatives and artists such as Tadanori Yokoo, Makoto Azuma and Kohei Nawa have also lent a hand to the production of the film. A girl with a hollowness in her heart and who finds that she belongs to nowhere, is thrust into a series of attacks where she must struggle to find her will to live. The key message of the film – to think with one’s own mind and to live strongly with integrity – has resonated with many young people across social media, and subsequently led to an extended screening of the film.
