[KineJapan] Kinema Junpo Bests for 2025

[Rea Amit]

I'm surprised that no one has posted this yet...

The major story of the year is Miyake Shō’s third Best Film award for *Tabi
to hibi*, which overtook Lee Sang-il’s *Kokuho* in second place. Lee,
however, received the Best Director prize, and *Kokuho* was voted Readers’
Choice for Best Film of the Year. Shim Eun-kyung became the first Korean
performer to win Best Actress for her performance in a Miyake film. Yoshida
Daihachi’s *Teki *(Teki Cometh) placed third, followed by *How Dare You?*
(dir. Mipo O), *Takarajima *(Hero’s Island, dir. Otomo), *Baka’s
Identity*, *Kirishima
desu (dir. Takahashi Banmei), Umibe e yuku michi *(The Road to the Seaside,
dir. Yokohama Satoko), *Kyo** no sora ichiban suki, tomada ienai boku wa*
(dir. Oku Akiko), and *Miharashi sedai* (dir. Danzuka), rounding out the
top ten.

Looking forward to catching some of these soon!
