Satoko YOKOHAMA

The Actor

俳優 亀岡拓次

Nippon Cinema   ª 

Nobody drops dead like Takuji, the king of supporting actors in Japanese cinema. But his life as an actor is far from glamorous. Meeting Azumi, the charming daughter of an innkeeper, motivates him to think about a new start. With its dead­pan humor and surreal dream sequences, this film constituted one of the highlights of last year’s Tokyo International Film Festival.
