[KineJapan] Samurai Chronicle sneak at FCCJ

[Eija Niskanen]

Dear KineJapanners,


On September 18, the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Yurakucho is screening
Takashi Koizumi’s first film in five years, “A Samurai Chronicle,” followed
by a Q&A with the writer-director and his star, Koji Yakusho. Based on the
Naoki Prize-winning novel by Rin Hamuro, it is the elegiac story of a
samurai’s final three years before he must keep his promise to commit
harakiri, with strong messages about fatherhood, community and honor.
Koizumi was the longtime assistant to Akira Kurosawa and the director of
the award-winning “After the Rain” (2000).


Since FCCJ is a private club, you must reserve your seats through
Screenings Curator Karen Severns: kjs30 at gol.com.
