Dear KineJapanners,

The Foreign Correspondents' Club in Yurakucho is screening the US-Japan
coproduction EMPEROR on July 25th, starring Tommy Lee Jones and a host of
great Japanese actors. Since FCCJ is a private club, you must reserve a
seat through Karen Severns: kjs30 at gol.com.

SNEAK PREVIEW SCREENING
Followed by a Q&A session with producers Yoko Narahashi and Eugene Nomura

EMPEROR (Shusen no Empera)
US/Japan, 2013  107 minutes  In Japanese and English with subtitles

Set in Tokyo during the first few weeks of the Allied Occupation of Japan,
the film is based on the real-life investigation into whether Emperor
Hirohito should be tried for war crimes. MacArthur (Jones) has his eye on
the US presidency, and he knows there are many who want to see the “son of
heaven” hanged whether he approved the Pearl Harbor order or not. MacArthur
charges his aide, Gen. Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox), with finding clear-cut
evidence, and gives him a daunting time limit for doing so. Having spent
time in Japan before the war, Fellers knows the importance of loyalty and
obedience, and he is sensitive to the elaborate protocols protecting the
Emperor from all but his inner circle.
